*Tub #1 - 50 worms
*Tub #2 - 15 worms plus a carton of worms = ~45, peas planted 3-5-20; 2nd planting 3-25-20 and trellis put up
*Tub #3 - 15 worms plus a carton of worms added on 2-22-20 = ~45. The soil was nice and not cold at all, though it is 57 and cloudy out and has been below freezing at night. The soil wasn't as wet as a wrung out sponge, so I added some water to the tub before I put the worms in. 8 strawberry "roots" planted on 3-5-20. 3-6-20 after seeing two youtubes where they soak the roots in water before planting, I recovered the roots and soaked, and then replanted. 3-18-20 pulled up strawberries because they were not taking.
*Tub #4 - 14 worms + carton worms on 3-5-20, 3-6-20 planted garlic, beets, radishes, carrots, and onions.
Tub #5 - 14 worms
Tub #6 - 18 worms, lettuce and spinach planted 3-6-20
*Tub #8 - 3 from soil from other tubs, carton added on 3-5-20, potatoes planted 3-5-20; freezing temps in the mid-20's on April 2 and 3 burned the plants, only one has sprouted again as of 4-11-20.
Tub #9 -
So my worms have fared well over the winter, in spite of below freezing nights and some very frigid weather.
