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

Are these compost worms or earth worms? Both need some moisture and organic
matter to eat but the details of what is good habitat for each differ. In
part the differences is compost worms live in compost above ground and the
earth worms in the ground I know this seems obvious but some people don't
know they are different. There are other differences. In a desert I think
you are always going have problems with moisture.
