Default garlic beds?

Would it hurt to plant then 6" above where I dump
all the melon rinds, etc.? Or do I need to
wait awhile?


do you have worms in your garden soil?

melon rinds are like worm crack. they
love 'em. will eat through them in a few
days here when i put them in the buckets.
i don't put all of them in one bucket (too
much moisture at once).

hmm, i think the cost of keeping stuff in
the freezer or fridge is not worth it and
would bury them in the gardens asap, spread
them out around and bury them deep enough
that flies/animals won't be attracted to
them. let the worms work their magic on
them.

i fed some of my worms the strawberry
tops that were fermenting. i think some of
the worms may have gotten a bit drunk.
*hic* since i just restarted most of the
buckets not too long ago i was curious to
see how the worms were doing. they looked
to be doing pretty good.
