Worm hole roots

Just for fun here are some pictures of bean roots growing through worm-holes.
They looked like miniatures of the roots growing in gopher tunnels. 

I dug up two bean plants, one doing great, one dying, to see the difference.
The dying bean plant had wet, saturated soil.
The good bean plant, had very dry soil.
Classic mistake, over-watering bean plants.

In the dry soil I was able to get good pictures since the dirt that didn't crumble or compress.

  3. Really interesting tip on dealing with worm holes and how roots interact with the soil — it’s great to learn little things that can make a big difference in your veggie patch! Understanding what’s happening underground helps you encourage healthy growth instead of just guessing, and worm activity is often a sign of rich, aerated soil which is awesome for plants. I even took a little break with all yono games while reading — perfect for keeping the gardening inspiration going. Thanks for the helpful info!
