Default Worms

The message
from soup contains these words:

Our soil is a clay one (doesn't drain at all well and is quite
clumpey) I have broken up a patch. Would this patch benefit from worms
or do I have to do the whole mixing in sand bit? How much sand (patch is
5m x 60cm) and does anyone know of a worm supplier in Edinburgh?
May also have access to horse manure (well rotted).


You want compost. The worms will finf their own way in and mix the soil
for you.

You can add sand too if you like - it won't hurt, and may help, but just
pile on the compost...
