What organic molecules must be included in the soil for earthworm nutrition

Answer 1

Organic Molecules included in Earthworm Nutrition

Organic molecules of neutral pH must be included in the soil for earthworm nutrition. Neutral pH indicates the pH 7. The things which has pH equals to 7 is considered as neutral. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14. So if the substance has pH less than 7 then it is acidic but if it has pH more than 7 it is basic in nature. Water has pH 7 which means that it is neutral in nature so it must be included in the soil for earthworm nutrition.

Answer 2

Proteins, sugar, starch, and amino acids are the fresh organic molecules which is part of the soil which defines how the soil is healthy or good soil. You can find that these earthworms live off of by eating the soil itself and by their cast / secretions they also in return help to fertile the soil although by a very miniscule fraction. The actual benefit of the soil from the earthworms would be that it is able to aerate the soil and cultivate tunnels for water to be able to seep through the layers of the soil.
