I want to add a bunch of worms to my garden, both for their beneficial
effects, and for fishing.

My soil is sandy, and I have brought in at least a truck load of good
compost, yet it seems only to be good for the first two inches. I have a
couple of raised beds where it is a little better.

I know that in a lot of the country, worms just grow naturally. Not so here
in the desert. Do any of you do anything special, like digging a special
pit, or burying a chest freezer to make them a special area that you can
more economically make into worm habitat? And after that, do you compost
it?

Thanks

Steve

Are these compost worms or earth worms? Both need some moisture and organic
matter to eat but the details of what is good habitat for each differ. In
part the differences is compost worms live in compost above ground and the
earth worms in the ground I know this seems obvious but some people don't
know they are different. There are other differences. In a desert I think
you are always going have problems with moisture.

Dear Whatever:

I notice you have taken to task a writer about whether or not a post is on
topic, is spelled correctly, or is correct in some other minute detail.

I would like to inform you that the post of Netnanny is already filled. It
is held by Newton Fillmore, of Pacoima, California, although Mr. Fillmore is
currently in a coma in a facility in Riverside, and has been for three
years, eight months now. We just could not bring ourselves to demote him
without a proper hearing and him being present.

Please be advised that there are currently over 500 applicants and wannabes
for the position. That does not include people like yourself who have
broken with protocol and currently act like they are in the cherished
position.

If and when and if ever the post becomes available, you will be required to
write an essay of no longer than 1500 words, single spaced, using the words
there, they're, their, your, you're, and any others you can come up with in
as many incorrect grammatical situations as possible.

You must also describe the difference between "lose" and "loose" in 25 words
or less.

You must also include the reason that you think entitles you the lifelong
right to hold this post, and review the rest of humanity on its daily
heretofore
unobserved unsupervised act of Usenet Posting.

If I recall correctly, you ignored me last time. What makes this time
different? And was I drunk or absent the day you were put in charge?

LOL. I did none of the above. But a memory span of less than a few weeks
must make your life 'interesting'.

Your recall is not correct. You posted your question about worms under the
subject 'Eatrthworms' on 7 September. I responded and in fact posted in
that thread on 3 separate occasions. There were 9 posts in the thread so I
did my bit to provide info.

You must have been drunk and/or have remained so ever since.

turns to the other and says. "I'll man the guns, you drive."

You must have been drunk and/or have remained so ever since.

You must have some life to be able to devote so much time to researching all
this.

I'm just too busy.

All the posts from the last time you asked this question are still there
right on my screen. I'd hardly call it 'research' to be able to count up to
9.

I'm just too busy.

As are others.

Oh god, I hope your not talking about mushrooms. Last time, on that
topic, he was outraged that a second opinion might be requested. He
obviously doesn't have both oars in the water.
