You don't want anything in the pit around the horns that will attract worms.
Horn manure is very attractive to them and they can get through a lot of
horns quite quickly in the spring. We use very fertile well used garden
soil. Once the soil begins to warm and dry in the spring we keep a close
watch on them.
