No worms

Maybe try and dump a bunch of leaves in there, earth worms love leaves.

There's plenty of leaves in there. My wood chips come from tree services. They are 80% leaves by volume and I have pit 12 inches of it in the garden since we started

Weird... I can't ever remember having a garden where is didn't have tons of earth worms. Even in North Carolina where my garden was red clay, I still had tons of earth worms.

I really don't know why you don't have any... I suppose you could try and farm some to add to your garden. I did that when I was a kid and sold them by the dozen to fishermen. You can grow a lot of night crawlers in a 4' x 4' x 12" deep wooden box. I had mine down in the basement of our old house where it was cool. I farmed them in the winter and sold them in the spring and summer. I suppose you could farm them this winter then dump them in your garden this spring.

You don't happen to have a lot of moles do you? Moles eat worms and bugs in the ground.

That might be a real good reason

I was thinking the same thing

Bingo! @crealbilly I think you hit it on the nail head. Gopher mounds everywhere. The dogs dig caverns trying to get the durn gophers or moles or whatever they are.

 

[frustratedearthmother]

YaY! Hope the gophers disappear!

 

[Chic Rustler]

found some more mounds this morning. These little %#$@%@ won't let up. Time to get western

 

[Chic Rustler]

Got two more of them today. One was actually in the garden. He made a mound right by my okra.

Wow... That's a serious infestation you have there!
