Okay, I started attempting composting this winter. I was doing really well about stirring it regularly. Well, we started a little remodel project in our house and I got lax about stirring it and adding to it. I guess it has been about a month since I had done anything… More
As stated in a couple of other forums, I am brand new at this gardening business. We have 2 acres with 110 trees, most of which are live oaks. Needless to say, too many to rake or pick up, so I grind them up with the mower. We have just… More

They are definitely earthworms - but I thought a compost should get hot? Not hot enough to deter worms? Is it bad that the compost is very heavy and wet? THe size does shrink, so I'm assuming that means the organic material is breaking down... STacey More
