Wish I could send you some of mine, I planted some peppers and the little bit I had to dig up for the holes must have had a half dozen night crawlers and the smaller earthworms in each hole. I amend my garden with two year old mulched leaves each year tilled each spring and cover with last seasons shredded leaves as mulch. We never have to purchase worms for fishing!

We have just mulched with lots of well rotted manure so hopefully this will bring in some worms
