Worms!

[bbyrd009]

I remem something about maintaining (like, supposedly indefinitely) a pop of worms in arid climates...oh ya, 'Hugel Beds.' they're like self-sustaining--maybe no. or little water even?--after they... um, ripen? mature? whatever. Some people down there swear by them. What'cha growing?

A few different varieties of tomatoes, potatoes and lots and lots of hot peppers!

I am keeping the soil moist hoping that enough of the worms are smart enough to borrow too deep for the commando quail to find them.
