You could dig up worms from your yard and put them in your raised bed. Put some coffee grounds in the soil, they like that, you could also use the feed they sell for worms when you have a container full for fishing to keep them fed. I have kept them going and happy for a good while doing that in the summer when I keep them contained for fishing bait. I dig them up from my piles of shredded leaves I keep by my fence.Helpful Reply -
