Thank you for giving such solid information regarding raising jumpers. I am going to be building raised garden beds in my backyard this weekend. After doing some searching online, I decided to purchase the supplies to make a worm tower out of PVC pipe for each raised bed. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFuIFnjK-ko) I am wondering if you have any ideas for making this plan successful. I am considering using rodent bedding (cheap woodchips) as the primary layer under my peat & top soil to encourage the jumpers to stay & be happy in my garden. I think I may add shredded newspaper to the soil mix as well. The whole top will be covered by sheets of newspaper & burlap to keep the soil moist in the hot summer sun. I am in southern NJ and the soil underneath the beds is pretty well compressed. Also, how many jumpers does one need per sq foot of garden space? I really appreciate your help and any thoughts you might have regarding this. Thanks! Charlotte Hey Bruce- All this info has been very helpful.
