My present soil is like black humus (I have layered 15" of leaves onto it each fall and let it decompose) and thus, is heavily laden with worms. Should I have worms in my new Mel's mix? They are in my compost pile and I wonder if they will die in a SFG box because there is really nothing to decompose. Let me know your thoughts on the matter. This is a big leap for me to cover up my entire garden area with contractor fabric, and wonder what will happen to all my precious worms! However, I think all the benefits of SFG outweigh any drawbacks. Tina Diane,
