simple question

hi
In order to attract earthworms to an area in my garden, what do I do? do I mix organic matters to the soil or I simply scatter the matters on the surface?
Which method is more effective and which one brings more earthworms and how often do I do it? Thank you.

Both will work but be more patient with the top dressing.

kathaab, you are ready for the Compost, Soil and Mulch forum. Don't be intimidated by their technical sounding talk.

My gardening mission is to attract earthworms. I both incorporate organic matter---mostly my own compost---and put it on top. Both approaches work well. Worms love seaweed, newspaper, hay, straw, leaves. I gather those ingredients and apply them quite liberally to the surface of my gardens.
