Hehehe. In fairness to me, there were legit reasons, too!
I wanted to get worms in there to chew up the leaves and unfinished compost, but I wanted to do it *after* I'd tilled so I wouldn't kill a bunch of 'em. Therefore, since Christmas, I've been waiting to find a day when all of the following were true:
- It hadn't rained for 48 hours. (So that it wouldn't be too muddy to till.)
- It hadn't been below freezing for 48 hours. (Soil warm enough for worms.)
- It wasn't going to get below freezing for 48 hours afterward. (To give 'em plenty of time to go deep.)
- I had time for the 55-minute drive to the nearest warm farm to pick 'em up.
And of course, the sooner the better, so the worms would have time to do as much as possible before the first stuff goes in the ground in early February, and everything is rockin' and rollin' in April.
