The guys outside really thrived. We eventually decided to take the one that were in the house out to the garden and let them free. My garden has a great supply of worms now. We add crushed leaves to all the beds in the fall so they stay happy.Peggihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10510899506984653485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6369678711465431784.post-37760014582725071682012-08-23T14:59:52.432-04:002012-08-23T14:59:52.432-04:00actually 2 cups equal a pound of wormsactually 2 cups equal a pound of wormsAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08756832266658736563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6369678711465431784.post-54679999604121004682012-08-22T21:17:50.611-04:002012-08-22T21:17:50.611-04:00I was eyeballing a worm inn.

It's really noticeably superior compost too. I find if I use it side by side with regular compost the plants getting the worm compost grow much more vigorously than their neighbors getting regular compost. Composted chicken manure is excellent stuff too.kitsapFGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06120640838501186514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6369678711465431784.post-42813779082343068362012-08-20T08:30:09.217-04:002012-08-20T08:30:09.217-04:00Your garden is surely going to appreciate that add...Your garden is surely going to appreciate that addition!
