Worms
I agree Len, I introduced 500 compost worms (who counted them I don't know)
to my earth bottomed worm farm (alis food scrap bin) - now they are all through the garden - especially where I bury half rotted compost, sugar cane mulch, or slimey green lawn clippings. Interestingly, it the local bigger worms that don't like the rich trappings of the food scrap bin. They also seem to be a bit more delicate - I found that handling them even just putting a shovel full of earth containing worms into a bucket seems to kill them - heaven knows why ? Geoff "len garden" wrote in message news g'day spiny norman, that is not quiet true, they are a different worm to the effect they work in a gathered clump unlike normal garden worms that seem to be more individual. but yes they will thrive in the garden (to a worm so long as there is food they won't know the difference between a garden bed and a worm farm), so to keep them thriving you put your kitchen scraps in the garden bed (best place for them) and use green mulches that break down, and they will thrive happily on. actually with all that extra space they probably prolificate even more.
