About this episode

Alan Davies explores the importance of worms in the soil ecosystem.

They wriggle and writhe in the earth beneath us, surely, we’d be fine if they vanished?

This episode features Mark Hodson, Professor of Environmental Science and soil sister, horticulturist, and founder of GoGrowWithLove, Sandra Salazar D’eca. An ITN production for BBC Radio 4
