I have covered them with cane mulch and they seem to be doing o.k . In reference to you finding worms in your manure only bucket. I put my horse manure through a mulcher so it is very fine. We had a good storm the other night and when I went to use this fine manure I found a lot of worms down the bottom of the pile. My worm bins are not even close to the pile ,so I dont know where they came from , but bring it on . regards Nifty Hi Bently

I'm really impressed with your bean poles and boxes...excellent idea! I also made a potato tower this year....haven't checked yet whether any potatoes came of it...I'll let you know. It was a difficult growing season, very cool temps in WI, and I don't have alot of sun in my yard to begin with. Oh well, better luck next year, right?
