Make a pile on top with compost (not composting material) or soil with a
high organic content at least 20cm deep. *Keep damp. *In two weeks turn over
and inspect for worms.

It seems I am still in shock, and not thinking straight. I had to go
to a website that suggested, as far as my lawn, I take a sample inside
and try to grow it under optimal conditions. DUH. OK, time to get it
