Dang! A gourmet restaurant for worms. You aught to
start charging them for your services!

Wait, you already do that when you steal their
poop to fertilize your garden.

:-)

the sad thing is that when i put them out into the
gardens only a few survive. adult worms really don't
cope well with rapid change in soil conditions on
top of the fact that many of them are not natives so
they will not survive the weather extremes.

the worms that will survive are those that are natives
and who are just about to hatch from their cocoons and
perhaps some of the smaller ones that have a chance to
acclimate.

i don't steal their poop. i just take the buckets
out and put them where i want to use their poop/pee
and then i keep a few buckets back which are used to
restart the buckets. to take the time to sift the
worms from the buckets would take way too long and i'm
not running a fancy setup where i could be more able
to let the worms migrate like some do. that's both
more expensive and takes more equipment than a simple
bucket like what i'm doing.

They sound really pampered. I can hear the now:

Fred: slave is briging more table scraps!

Harvey: Hmmm. These vegi's taste like they
were grown in our poop.

Fred: I am pretty sure that was your poop Fred

fight ensues

One of the local's sells a quart of the stuff
for 80 U$D. That will be a cold day in ...

My ground pots now all have a single resident worm.
