A gardening YouTube channel I watch talked about in-ground worm composting bins. I have seen worms in my beds, so I wanted to see how many native worms doing this could attract.
It is a 1ft cube made from fence with the edges weaved together with baling wire. I did a layer of hand-torn cardboard, then layer of food scraps, then another layer of cardboard, layer of fresh cut grass, then topped with rice straw. The top piece of the fence cube is just loosely attached and then a final thick layer of rice straw on top.
I had planned to dig into it this afternoon to see if it had attracted any worms yet. When I took the cover layer of straw off, I was met by these freshly growing pins of what I think are a shaggy mane mushroom. Decided not to dig in to not disturb the fungus.
