They love all the organic matter you can incorporate into the soil. They eat it, and out the other end comes...well you know...castings. Great stuff for your plants.
...But, if you use chemical fertilisers or insecticides...they wont stick around for very long. They just don't like the stuff.

Thanks Charlie, I doubt I have any nasty chemicals in my medium. I may mist spray a 1/10 part bleach water solution during humid wet times on my plants..i never used insecticides in any beds ..I have worms in the beds now just not that many and they are small garden worms not big nightcrawlers but than again it is still early.. I just thought between now and planting to take advantage of any rain worm picking opportunities and if they like the beds they stay.if not there is plenty of unfertilized lawn close by.
