My dad reminded me while helping him ready his little raised encloised garden of something I should have remembered, He caught me squishing pill bugs, and saving the baby earthworms, and told me, ya know earthworms are good, but not in this bed, it has plastic containing it and the earthworms eat the roots of the plants, so, they are bad for this containment. That reminded me of those metal sheets aroun the tomatoes and the comment the maters had no roots...
