    millipedes are basically like earth worms. exact same environment and everything.

    so yes it is. however i recently discovered my garden which has a TON of millipedes is turning into a millipede graveyard tons of them dying. millipedes do shed so i thought they just were shedding no they were dying. not sure why the soil is healthy lots of earthworms near the surface.

    Yes, to an extent with millipedes.........but no, in regard to centipedes.

    The centipedes habitat is generally under rocks, bark, wood crevices etc. Something

    or somewhere moist. They will live in burrows but don't dig them so they don't do

    your soil any benefit.
