Second off I always bury fresh compost in the center of the pile and cover with grass/leaves, then toss a hard plastic cover over the lot to discourage digging. Occasionally a raccoon will toss the pile. Worst case is a loose dog will dig.

I hope your new worms are happy and prolific.<br /><br />I have compost piles, toss all cooked and uncooked food scraps there, and the native worms enjoy the bounty (I'm too lazy to keep a hot compost pile going). Sorry about allKrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17822528453563683772noreply@blogger.com
