I have a lot of worms in my garden area, what about the worms already in the garden can i feed them and will they do the same job as the red wigglers

@swsebrownsugar1888 - Great question. Enriching a normal garden with lots of organic matter (leaves, grass, compost etc) is an excellent way to attract more soil worms, and yes they will provide similar benefits (and even some additional benefits such as helping to mix the soil, provide aeration etc.)

I have started small beds in my squarefoot garden setup. I put out a cup full of bedding from my worm bin out in in the squarefoot garden type setup, then I toss in about 3 - 4 banana peals and then on top of that add coffee grounds. The worms love it and have made it thru the winter with this setup. I am adding more grounds as the population is growing I noticed the soil is much less compacted in the areas the worms have been. Great video!
