2:00 sneaky plot to lure people into gardening. Give them a plant that needs companions and more than one speciment (for pollination for instance) ;) Or help them build ONE raised bed.

How to get rid of earthworms from my house plant pots... It is creating trouble for the growth of the plant... They are in 100's in number in each pot. Please help me to get rid of them without harming the plant

in English the term earth worms apply to the highly beneficial rosy fairly large worms that live in soil (if you have many fat large worms in your soil you are good. People already misapply the term for _compost_ worms. They are related I think but different. Compost worms do not fare well in soil. Earthworms do not live in plant pots, and I doubt also very much that compost worms could, not even in a larger container. What you have got is certainly ! something else * , I would try to identify it correctly (with help of the internet) and then google for counter measures. Earthworms dig tunnels in the soil in gardens or the ground in nature and they graze the bacteria that live in those tunnels. Maybe they are also able to eat rotting plant matter, not sure about that. So it is impossible that hundreds of earthworms live in your pots. Earthworms are fairly large, too. you must have other critters. And it is likely they are not beneficial.

8:00 he says ferns are around for 400 million years. Well, after the asteroide hit the planet 66 million years ago, ferns were able to regrow in the course of 1000 years, they were the dominant pioneers for a while (a few thousand years most likely). Fire raining down on a global scale a few hours after the impact cooked fauna and flora and started widlfires on a global scale. Then followed years of cold blackout because of the fine debris in the atmosphere. That caused the mass extinction - and somehow ferns or their seeds were able to survive all of that and were pretty dominant for a while Geoff Lawton says that ferns are an indicator of former wildfires (he commented on a site, not related to the asteroide). The ash contains a mineral that is easily washed out, and ferns can cope with that: they are able to mine for that mineral in the underground or can grow well without it. So fern abounds in such areas (as pioneer plants) until the situation of the soil has improved. It took 100,000 years to stustain mammals that weighed more than 10 kg (20 pounds) - they depended on a more varied plant life. That maximum weight of mammals (indicating a more varied vegetation, and mammals have higher demands than reptiles) doubled after 100,000 more years. After 1 million years the _land_ based eco systems had fully recovered and allowed for large mammals, filling all niches the dinosaurs had occupied before. Full restoration of diverse eco sysems in the oceans took longer. I seem to remember 3 million years. It rained ! heated up matter that the impact had pulverized and sent up in the atomoshpere. the larger particles started raining down after a few hours. The global tsunamis and earthquakes, and storms and fires on the Americas alone would not have lead to a mass extinction - catastrophic as they were. We see shooting stars glows - matter that falls towards the surface and frictions heats it up. That has no impact, but when that much matter rains down globally it is catastrophic. So massive wildfires all over the planet, animals grilled to death and what not. And then when that was over (and some seeds may have survived) it cold very cold for maybe a few years until the atmosphere had cleared enough. I wonder if the event would have been less catastrophic if the asteroide had hit deep ocean, instead of shallow gulf of Mexico.. The estimate is that it may have had up to 10 km = 6.2 miles in diamater, so even if landing in the an area with deep ocean a part still would have been above water. But the deep water would have absorbed a LOT of energy and less matter (other than water) would have been dislocated. Water also absorbs energy very well. Water may have dissipated the heat (energy of the impact better) it would have radiated out in the atmosphere or into orbit, so it would have come down as rain within a few days as is usual for water vapor (but not as hot shower) and may have washed out a lot of the particles without the extreme heating up. So no fire raining down and also no massive global cooling.
