We love our Vimle for everyday use. It’s super comfy and modern in style. I think the Hyltarp is great for a sitting room or small space if you’re going for a more polished look. It’s more firm, too. We love both for different reasons!
Just curious… any idea how you got the worms?

Great question - I forgot to mention! My best guess is the bagged composts I put in the raised beds. At this time, I have not seen signs of or been able to extract jumping worms from any of our other flower or vegetable gardens, so it must be something I put in the beds and nowhere else. Unfortunately, even bagged items can get contaminated when sitting on the ground at garden centers. Now, I know to solarize bags before use (ag.umass.edu/landscape/fact-sheets/invasive-jumping-worm-frequently-asked-questions#:~:text=what%20is%20solarization%20and%20is%20it%20effective%20for%20eradicating%20jumping%20worms%20and%20cocoons%3F%20how%20does%20it%20work%3F) but there is no guarantee! 😕

Thanks for the info. I will check that out. Did you say you use Coadt of Maine? That’s what I use also😮

I have used Coast of Maine lobster compost, but I’ve also incorporated several other amendments so it’s hard to identify the culprit exactly! The cocoons could have just been sitting in the bulk soil we used to fill the beds last spring and just now hatched 🤷🏼♀️
