Wood Chips and Worms... a perfect fit!

http://www.edibleacres.org
We have some really strong red wiggler populations in some of our compost areas in the chicken yard. I identified them earlier in the fall and preserved them by piling up older compost on top, but now I can bring in a HUGE deposition of fresh wood chips to deeply insulate the pile for the rest of the winter and move a few of the strongest populations into some new and protected areas. By spring the populations will have had a chance to really expand in the warmer and more stable environment provided. We'll periodically add food scraps to this area to provide them fresh food sources. By spring we may have hundreds of thousands if not millions of worms in this area.
