fertile and wet

Worms are adapted to live in any soil that holds moisture and has enough organic matter to sustain them. Earthworms do better in loams, clay loams, and silty soils than they do in sandy soil, mainly because sandy soil drains too quickly and doesn't have enough organic matter to feed them. Red compost worms, Eisenia fetida, live under pools of organic matter, like depressions where leaves settle in the fall. They live in the mulch layer between the soil and the surface, not in the soil itself.
