Default total absence of worms...

Hi,

I seem to have an almost total lack of worms in my garden - I've been
digging down to about 15 inches and haven't seen a single worm. Any
ideas why this might be? I'm new to this garden and the soil looks
fairly dusty and poor. Would I be rewarded by introducing some worms
from my sister's wormery - she has loads. Would adding some bulky
organic matter help?

Thanks,

Hugh

Seems little point introducing them if the soil is too poor. As you surmise,
you need lots of organic matter.
