Working on the new bed, I've actually been separating out the dirt from the grass above by hand, because so many of the worms seem to be right up in around the roots, so if I just skin the bed and pitch the grass roots, dirt and all, I'm losing a lot of worms I don't need to. That's how I've been finding the ones I have so far.
