hi- well it's been about 5 years since I posted here, I am just
getting started trying to reestablish my veggie garden. This time
rather than tilling up an entire yard ;-) I have made a raised bed- we
have had to get some new retaining walls, and the untreated sleepers
that we're replacing are perfect for this sort of thing.

Unfortunately, my veggie bed is in the top part of the yard, and the
dirt pile I'm filling it up with is in the bottom yard so it's going
to be a process of shifting a few barrows a day until it's full.
Which brings me to my question.

I've laid thick newspaper on the bottom of the new bed, and am dumping
dirt on it as I go. Would it be a stupid idea to also start burying
vegetable scraps up there? Maybe even under the newspaper layer?
Just that it's there and it would be so easy... the reality is I might
not get the bed filled with dirt til it's time to plant for spring, so
would using it as a worm bed/compost bed be a good idea or just plain
disgusting? Any suggestions?
