Growing in a ecosystem using cover crops & beneficial bug flowers to atttact lots of pest predators. Also been using few vertical worm towers around the plant site . PVC pipe with 5/8 drilled holes throughout the tube leaving the top 3 inches above ground with no holes . I filed all the rough edges so worms won’t shred themselves up . Use either a twist cap or strong screen top of time keep bugs out & to feed worms . Also added corrugated cardboard in tube & 2 inches below the soil & Down to Earth boxes work great . I buy bunch of worm at bait shop & they multiply quickly if conditions are good . U must make sure that food u adding isn’t rotting & causing the soil to turn anaerobic. Worm will eat the dry amendments & I also use pulverized egg shells & oyster & clam shells . I keep clam shell to add some avocado & turn it upside into the ground so they will congregate under shell & eat the food . Great way to utilize Mother Nature
