You have an extra comma at the end of the first line of
your lme code (indicated with ^^^), so R thinks your interaction term is a
separate argument and tries to intepret it outside the context
of the formula ...
library("nlme")
fit.1<-lme(soil.moisture ~ Trenching + DaysSinceEvent,
^^^^^
+ Trenching:DaysSinceEvent,
random = ~ DaysSinceEvent | Plot,
data=Dat.middle,
method="ML"
)
