I used to collect earthworms from the garden to feed 4 of my newts, but recently there has been a problem:
I used to dig in the driveway, but my mum (despite me telling her not to) went into the back garden and sprayed Pathclear on part of the garden. It wasn't much, but I'm concerned about chemicals.
According to the bottle, the weedkiller becomes inactive when it reaches the soil, but I'm still thinking that it could be a risk.
I'm worried that the worms in the garden will gradually make their way over to the drive, and end up bringing some chemicals across with them.
Am I being over cautious, or is there a real risk in using the worms from the drive? At the moment I am considering moving my newts over to my boyfriend's weedkiller-free home (luckily he is mad about pets too)
