Earth worms eat organic matter and leave behind castings rich of calcium, potassium and phosphorus. They aerate the soil through burrows which increases the ability of water to move through the soil. Worms create humus.
The more worms the more fertile is the soil the better your plants grow. They don't like synthetic fertilizers.

attempt getting a 5 gallon bucket and planting a tomato plant in there. it is super enought which you will get between the cages around it and it remains transportable adequate to set everywhere. attempt putting it close to a sunny window or bypass away it on a porch to get some solar. while you're shifting in some weeks, you may desire to attend and purchase a small tomato plant from an area nursery and nonetheless use the 5 gallon bucket if your new backyard isn't prepped for planting yet. Tomato plant life are somewhat hardy little creatures and with an honest quantity of sunshine and water i'm particular it will be superb!

Worms loosen the soil so they help with air circulation around the roots. Worm poo is a good fertilizer too.
