Walnut worms?
So I saw a post on Facebook, where a guy makes a walnut husk tea, pours it on a suspected worm spot and night crawlers came up instantly! can anyone confirm this method? I know when I was a kid we would make a weak mix of bleach and water and it would do the same thing, I have many big walnuts on my property and was thinking of trying it next August.

I know other plants have a hard time growing near walnut trees because of juglone chemical produced by the walnut tree. I imagine it could be the same
Except Osage Orange trees….ask me how I know….

I have heard all of the same things. Only one I can confirm is what SuperDave said. Can't get much to grow under the walnut trees here
