Go to any place that keeps horses, and has a manure pile. There should be millions of them.

Get a long screwdriver or similar, wait till early morning then go to your local field and pop your screwdriver far in the ground and wiggle around they will surface....

We used to do this for fishing ;)

Pipples, i keep putting stuff in the compost bins and nothing happens, i've had the bins for 2/3 years now and i still have leaves at the bottom of it, nothing is actually composting

LOL............thought not, ok then, put all your old tea bags in a bucket or similar and cover them with water, then leave to `brew` for a couple of weeks.......then pour it over your compost, the nitrogen in the liquid should help activate your pile.............

Re: Garden Worms
 
hehee, i don't drink much tea, i'll just go round all the neighbours and ask them for their tea bags
