Do you need worms to process soil toppings such as leaves or hay, or will they break down with simple rotting?
I rented a plot in a community garden, which consists of imported topsoil layered over impenetrable clay. I did not encounter a single worm all summer. They have dumped a pile of more dirt we can wheelbarrow over to our plots and spread over them, but what would be the best protective covering to add? Is it too late to plant a cover crop (zone 6)? Chopped leaves? Mulch? I do not have access to any homemade compost.
If this has been addressed before please point me in the direction of that post, because Search is disabled.
Thanks.
