I am coming up with answers to questions that I never even knew to ask. Like, what are these larger voids in the dirt that seem to be appearing? Well, during the day it will be a void... at night its filled with worms. There's 8+ worms here enjoying each others company, or some extra tasty bit of rot. Are they utilizing a void in the dirt that was already there or did they create this void themselves? Either is possible, and either way, theres a lot of worm activity going on... at night. During the day I see the voids they created (or made use of) the night before.

I think these are red wrigglers, not standard earthworms. I have both kinds in the location where I grew the 1677 lber. The red wrigglers do speed the decomposition up a bit because they tend to be more surface dwelling and very hungry
