Security is a most challenging task of outdoor worm farming. Today I discovered a major security breach.
The bed shown below has a piece of hardware cloth below measuring 4'x15'. The bed has gotten a little wider. I checked today and found several areas of gopher intrusion. There was a couple networks of tunnels, which was mostly void of worms. I think it/they consumed at least 5 lbs of squirm. I still need to solve the problem, or open a buffet.
On the plus side, I added about 20 gallons of horse manure. The poop had set in plastic planter pots nearby, got soaked with 6.5" of rain the past week. The manure was teaming with large mature "volunteer" worms.
Give and take!
This is the ugliest worm bed in the world!!
Happy wormin'
