Al,
Ditto!
Last spring I followed George Brooks advise and as some may recall posted a
note to the group in March suggesting a visit to your local manure piles for
red wigglers. I collected about 5 one gallons buckets of red wigglers from
various local horse manure piles. This may sound like a lot but in March,
April and May they are abundant in manure piles. I sprinkled these little
dirt devils throughout my patch in hopes they would proliferate thus
spreading their wonderful castings and continue to aureate my ground. Later
in the season July & Aug. when I was counting the number of roots coming off
of my vines I unearthed thousands of these little guys working throughout
the sandy loam compost I used to bury vines. I strongly recommend using
these little workers and feel they contributed a great deal to my soil &
pumpkin. As Al suggested and as I also practiced, limited applications of
fungicide and insecticide is required to allow for future generations in
your soil!
