Rocket Gardens?

Nah, worms eat the dead stuff like fallen leaves, and pass it through their bodies into the little gaps they make in the soil when moving, which breaks it up and makes it a better texture whilst introducing nutrients (that's about as technical as I go). And they are good food for birds which will eat/feed insects to their young in the nesting season.

My new garden looks dismal. But it's going to be better in Spring. You could well have loads of lovely surprises just under the surface, you won't know until you come home one day to find a carpet of blooms nodding their heads in the breeze!
