This blog post is an excellent guide for starting a no-dig garden and explains the reasons why worms are an essential part of the process.
The gardener’s friend, the humble earth worm, is nature’s underground dynamo. When you make a no-dig grow-bed without a solid bottom (for example you recycle an old rainwater tank and cut the bottom out), worms in the soil underneath and nearby will then have access. They will work their way up from below, aerating the bed and enriching the soil mix as they go.
