Is it damp? if not, give it a good water, keep it covered only to
keep it damp, and check it every so often. Since the weather is
warming, it will probably cure pretty quickly. I'm confused,
however, as to why the presence of worms tells Moira that the heap is
not ready. Doesn't the presence of worms just tell us that it is a
good environment for these critters -- just as we want it to be? Hmmm
