Abstract
⺠We tested whether hook tape is effective in confining earthworms to open-top mesocosms. ⺠Without Velcro, up to 80% of individuals of L. rubellus and A. caliginosa escaped. ⺠When Velcro tape was applied, not a single earthworm escaped. ⺠Velcro tape is an easy and effective method to keep earthworms confined to open-top mesocosms.
