Hi all
I have begun to look at using the option of worms to help improve our garden soil and drainage. The garden we inherited from the previous owners (elderly), while being maintained, has had little or no real consideration or work resulting in what I suspect is a very compacted soil which is not helping the drainage situation. In wet weather as now, some areas are extremely wet and hold water for a number of days, much of which lies on the surface. A full working/digging etc of soil is not an option and longer term I am to consider some drainage pipes for the worst areas but would adding earthworm at this time help? Would it be wise this time of year or wait till another season?
Any success stories or down sides I should consider?
Thank you. Any help appreciated
