You can speed things up at this stage, by adding some red brandling

Gosh, learn something new every day. On the subject of worms I
rotorvated and manured my vegetable garden but I have only seen one
single solitary worm in the whole patch which is a good 30X30 yards. A
bit worrying!

Brandlings are found in warm manure heaps.

We also had no worms when we took over our largest allotment after it hadn't
been used for 20+ years, a few years of manure and compost and it's a
different story. Even worms can't live without food.
