Default Worms

I want to add a bunch of worms to my garden, both for their beneficial
effects, and for fishing.

My soil is sandy, and I have brought in at least a truck load of good
compost, yet it seems only to be good for the first two inches. I have a
couple of raised beds where it is a little better.

I know that in a lot of the country, worms just grow naturally. Not so here
in the desert. Do any of you do anything special, like digging a special
pit, or burying a chest freezer to make them a special area that you can
more economically make into worm habitat? And after that, do you compost
it?

Thanks

Steve
