It depends on how much you use. Red worms do best in neutral soil that's neither too acidic, nor too alkaline. Wood ashes are alkalizing, so if they're added to an acidic soil, they bring it closer to neutral and make it more hospitable for red worms. If you add too much, or add them to an already alkaline soil, worms will move to soil with a more comfortable pH range.
