You need to add some green waste, fruit and veg waste, worms eat the waste and you get nice compost from that.Censorship Reigns Supreme in Troll City...0 -

We have more worms than we used to have, maybe due to adding much organic matter. More recently, we've also lost many moles to last years dry summer, which may have helped. The blackbirds are a mixed blessing too, but they sing beautifully, so I pretend not to notice the number of wiggly pals they pick off in a day!0 -
You'd be surprised where they could be. I watched a big fat worm escaping the cats claws last night by disappearing in between two concrete blocks, and I regularly see worm casts on the lawn in the winter [ not so much in the summer]Non me fac calcitrare tuum culi0
