Guard those worms with your life Zabby... We dug a big new plot (when I say 'we', a very good friend with a mini-digger did most of the job...) for tatties last week and found 2 worms. We live in what is legendarily the stoniest part of Scotland, if not the whole planet, and it seems the poor old worms don't like it. I'm hoping that they might be encouraged to join me here in force once I have somewhat enriched the soil. Apparently the devil didn't know what to do with all the excess stone he had after creating the world (?!) and decided to dump it in a small, carefully-chosen part of Dumfries and Galloway, otherwise known as my garden!!!
On a more serious note, anyone interested in improving/not destroying our precious earth should watch 'Six Inches of Soil' - inspirational and informative.

ooooh thank you for the Six Inches of Soil recommendation.
Good luck with your tatty bed! Very pleased with the amount of worms we've been finding here... trying my best not to disturb them too much!
