Default Gathering worms

Well, you have to manage your compost heaps a little bit. Covering
them (old corrugated iron will do) stops the rain leaching the compost
and making it over soggy. A heap in the making will get enough
moisture from green material added to it. A full, cooled heap (the
stage when you add worms for speed) needs a look at now and then; if
it's too dry (ant nest activity; material not breaking down, worms all
gone to the bottom ) it needs damping with some water or urine or
comfrey tea.


I have soaked it down a little....Not much....
And so we will see.....I also turned it over to get some air in there
