An overnight rain forced worms on to paved surfaces. I've read where this
occurs mostly in April and November as worms seem to be near the surface.
I
collected several hundred from a parking lot and a tennis court. They
include many "night crawlers" to 6" or 8" plus many smaller worms. Can I
add these to my garden with the expectation that some will survive and
multiply? My garden is still dormant with a layer of top soil over
shredded
leaf debris over grass clippings, with each layer about 2" to 3" thick at
the time of application last fall.


You probably don't have to add worms to your soil, they are probably already
in the soil. It sounds like the soil has enough food to keep 'em happy. But
if you feel the desire, just toss 'em about the yard, and loosely cover them
with some soil.
