Evanne, I salute you holmes! Going through all of that, driving to Northridge (!) and what sounds to me like risking your life to get 20 bags of worm scheisse. Respekt!

Evangeline, Great post. Just adding organic matter, compost and manure, to your garden will attract worms. You won’t have too dig it in because the worms will move it around for you and in the process aerate the soil. All good soils have lots of earthworms.

Hi Evangeline,
If you have space for a rolling composting tub or a worm tower you can have your own wormy friends right at home on a balcony or outside. When I showed my 4 yr old Goddessdaughter our worms wiggling sooo happily in the tub she cried in wonder “they LUFF it in Dere!!” She picked one up and asked “boy or girl?” Funny she should ask… She also came over after a school trip to felix Neck Sanctuary (Martha’s Vineyard) and confessed with a red face that she and her friends “accidentally killed a worm” Poor LuLu she was so embarrassed! She also loves to help worms find “which way home” in the dirt. My other kids are grown up, less interested at this point. wait and see, I bet even your hubby will appreciate when he sees what the castings produce in the way of a healthy garden!
