Answer 3

Less than most people think. Soil that is very low to completely bereft of organic mater will have no earthworms in it. Earthworms need soil with a fair amount of organic matter. The presence of earthworms in the soil is a good sign - it means the soil has decent organic matter, hence is good for growing things. It is often said that the earthworms enrich the soil by their casts, and while that is true, it is only to a very minuscule degree. Besides delighting the robins, the most important thing about earthworms in the soil is that they show it's healthy soil.
