Dead worms
I noticed a whole mess of dead worms in front of my garden. And was freaked out. Then my neighbor’s daughter from two blocks away had walked by and seen Tin on the front porch and said there were dead worms up and down the bayou, not just in front of my house.
Why would there be so many dead earthworms? I looked online and the two answers were if you had fertilized recently (I haven’t) or if there was a worm infection. Yuck.

I’ve always seen lots of dead worms when there were heavy rains. They come out of the waterlogged earth to avoid drowning, then the sun comes out and zaps them anyway. Possibility?

Well we’ve been dry for the past two weeks so not rains. They are very close to the garden meaning they crawled out and died. So since it is not just my garden it could be an infection or disease as I read on some forum online that referred to a similar thing happening (however, it was concluded that they had just fertilized in the last four weeks).
