| I've been interested in having a worm bed for some time now. Started watching some YouTube videos on easy ways to do it. I mainly wanted the castings. The last few days I've been putting out my tomatoes and peppers and I am astounded how many worms I already have. Not exaggerating, one hand shovel and there's sometimes 6-8 worms! Last year I covered my beds with chopped leaves and that seems to have done the trick. And, as a bonus, I now have brown matter in the middle of summer to add to my compost. This past winter we had little moisture and my compost bed took a vacation. I revved it up with a turn and some water and I'm cooking at at least 130 degrees. (I don't have a long enough temp gauge to get to the heart.) I'm hoping to have a lot ready in the next couple weeks, as I had very little to use this spring. Just wondering if I'm unaware worms are taking over the earth. |

| LOL, this is lovely and no, not any more than before now. But beware--the creatures who eat worms will soon discover the buffet! Hope it won't end up being anything you don't want.  AKA Joey. |

| Oh, they're there as soon as they see me with a shovel in my hand. |
