I have been digging up small earthworms in a little patch of the yard (the yard is 4 acres but I keep going to the easy little spot where the soil is turned). Seems like I am finding less and less, not good.

If i started to put out veggie scraps and a little paper to feed them I wonder if they would multiply faster, don't really want to go with the whole worm bin project as that seems like too much work and in this heat could result in a whole bin of dead worms if I forgot for a few days.
