Yeah, they hatched in spring and my manure pile was filled with them.

Yikes! Hopefully my efforts can revive my hopes for the season. Do they tend to stay in the pile itself? Just curious as my pile-zone isn't very far from the garden

Mine did, and the pile was about 50 yards from the garden.

Mine won't be that far off, but either way it'll be better than having inches of manure directly on the garden!
