Thanks Heather - the feeling is definitely mutual! I've really enjoyed hearing from you and learning about your Texas vermi-endeavors! :-)
Way to go Mark! ;-)
Teasing aside, I am definitely looking forward to Mark's contribution! Good to get some new blood, instead of boring ol' me all the time. :-)

Anyway, this is my comment:
So it seems from what I have read that wet enough for worms is too wet for the garden. And there is really no way to reconcile the two. I wanted to go with raised beds and EFs because in North Carolina I felt the worms would survive the mild winters. I will still use the vermicompost in the garden, but keep the worms inside.

- Hi everyone - apologies for the fact that I haven't been more responsive. I'm having a hard time keeping up with comments/emails from my own site, and am even worse when it comes to neglecting this great site.
Please DO send me an email: bentley@redwormcomposting.com if you have any questions etc. I can be a little slow to respond, but definitely faster than here. haha :-)
Thanks!
