With the daytime temps up in the 60s and our recent rains, the indigenous worms in my garden area are only a foot or so down.
Today while turning some of the surface compost, I harvested 85 banded breeders to restock my indoor seedstock bins and harvested some bed run to toss into the chicken coop.
One of the guys I worked with before choosing to leave industry 10 years ago, stopped by last week and actually apologized for calling me "worms on the brain" for reading my vermiculture books when we took our breaks from work. He even mentioned that he understood I really wasn't that crazy when he read an article on worm raising I put together for a self reliancy magazine.
I like when my worms come out of hybernation and when friends who thought I had "worms on the brain" finally realize that worms on the brain help keep food in my stomach , a roof over my head a computer at my desk and a means of surviving comfortably for another day.
