An invasive type of worm from Asia is posing a new challenge to Midwest gardeners. In gardens and yards, these jumping worms are wreaking havoc, so you need to take precautions to save your prized plants. Because they are tenacious and lack natural predators in the United States, these worms can proliferate quickly and cause destruction wherever they go.
The Asian jumping worms eat the soil, leaving it depleted and in bad condition. Their insatiable appetite modifies the structure of the soil, causing it to lose moisture retention and become depleted of nutrients. This makes the soil more susceptible to erosion, which further complicates the situation for plants trying to grow.
These worms may be really scary in addition to harming the soil. Despite the term suggesting they may “jump,” they move more like a twisted snap, which contributes to their unsettling appearance. Several states have acted to stop this dangerous invasion because they understand how important it is to handle this matter. Wisconsin, Missouri, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Ohio, Texas, Louisiana, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Oklahoma are among the states that are impacted.
If you see these worms, you should get rid of them immediately to protect your garden. By stealing nutrients from the soil, these invasive worms deprive nearby plants and animals of their food supply. The local ecosystem deteriorates in the absence of a suitable habitat, which causes a decrease in the number of plants and animals.
There are steps you may take to fight these worms if you live in one of the impacted states. The University of Wisconsin-Madison Arboretum’s Brad Herrick, an ecologist, advises sprinkling a mixture on the ground to encourage the worms to come up for air and leave their underground homes. This technique can shield your garden from them and help lower their population.
A distinguishing feature of the Asian jumping worm’s body is a white ring that is situated near to its head. It’s best to get rid of these worms right away if you find them. Any mature worms you find should be disposed of after being placed in a plastic bag and left in the sun for at least 10 minutes. Furthermore, it’s crucial to avoid buying these worms for composting, gardening, or bait. Since their eggs cannot withstand temperatures higher than 104 degrees Fahrenheit, only purchase mulch or compost that has been thoroughly heated to reduce the chance of their spreading.
We can preserve the health and vibrancy of our ecosystems as well as our gardens by acting proactively to combat this invasive plant. By working together, we can end the jumping worm’s destructive reign and bring harmony back to our Midwest gardens.

Woman who ‘died and was in heaven for 3 days’ reveals a chilling vision of the future
The concept of life after death is present in a number of religions and philosophies. Some envision an afterlife or reincarnation, while others see death as the end of consciousness. The scientific community is inconclusive, and these beliefs mainly reflect personal or cultural views.
Julie Poole, who calls herself a spiritual guru, has built a career by sharing her teachings with others.
At a young age, Julie experienced “physical, mental, s**al, and emotional abuse.”
This horrific experience left her devastated and affected her life, but at the same time it strengthened her spirituality.
She has always been open about everything that is going on in her life, and recently, she shared her near-death experience following a suicide attempt.
In her 20s, Julie overdosed on medications after which she “died” in a sense and was taken to a “spirit realm” that resembled heaven. There, she claims to have seen glimpses from the future.
“I suddenly saw my guides and my angels around me and then they lifted me up, and took me up to the Higher Realms. I just remember saying ‘I’m going home’ and they said ‘No you’re not, it’s not your time,’” she shared in a video.
Julie claims the spirits told her, “We did warn you it would be too hard and too overwhelming, and now here you are at 21 trying to check out.”
Three days later, she returned to her normal form on Earth but she could still remember some of the words the spirits spoken to her.
Further, Julie claimed that the extraterrestrial beings told her a new ‘Golden Age’ for humanity would begin between 2012 and 2032.
“What we mean by the Golden Age is that for millennia now there has been an enormous amount of power, abuse and control…” she clarified, “All of that has been held by the few and has controlled the masses.
“This Golden Age is bringing an equality across the board, so that which is false and fake and untrue and corrupt will fall away.”
She is convinced that this concept would indeed happen and that “the day of reckoning” is near.
“It’s coming up not so that we can have some sort of Armageddon, but the people in power that are corrupt are getting found out,” she went on.
“They’re getting caught and kicked out, and people that have a pure heart pure intentions are coming in instead.”
