So... I went out and removed the 3-4" layer of shredded leaves in another bed. The soil was cold. Not frozen, the leaves were wet, like a dog. Yeah I'm bad at this game. However, at the bottom of the leaves, or the top of the soil, I happened to notice, worms! This bed had absolutely NO protection of any kind from the elements. I didn't play in the bed that has had plastic on top of it, or the bed that had a row cover with fleece on top for the last two-three weeks. I really want to see the bed that had the plastic on top since it stayed the warmest. I'm still happy to see worms in the soil. I don't remember the last time I saw a worm in the beds.
