I understand thank you.. I have worms in my soil so I'm now wondering if top feeding like that can also keep them alive. Which probably explains why they chose red wigglers as they stay up top. I'm using random worms I dug up from the garden, seems to produce the castings past 2 years, some are a few inches down but I think most are deeper. Previous grows they died before the end of the grow, I think due to the high temperatures, which are under control now now I've switched to LED.
I think the idea for worms is to do your light tilling later in the year once the worms have burrowed deeper for the winter, or something like that. Pretty sure I read that in The Biological Farmer by Gary F. ZimmerDo you think its possible to keep some worms alive in there indefinitely re-amending like that?
