Wormless

Wormless; is what my garden is! I have been in it 3 years now. It was once part of a field and is on solid clay which floods when it rains and drains really slowly. I have created many raised beds for plants and vegetables but regardless of how much compost and manure I put on in I have yet to see a worm? This means that the compost etc is not being pulled down into the soil structure which is not being broken up by the worm activity. Can I purchase worms and introduce them to the garden and if I do will the thrive and multiply?

Thank you for that idea pansyface
. I had looked at buying in live worms but had not thought of your suggestion. In fact I don't think I knew that worms laid eggs or if I did had forgotten. My next door neighbours brother has a farm locally so I will have a word with her when she comes back off holiday. Don't suppose you know if there is a "best " time of the year to do this?
