Contrary to what some of the others have said, earthworms are a necessary part of the ecosystem. They are the main decomposers in the environment. They also aerate the soil. You'll break down compost much, much faster with earthworms than you would just waiting for the bacteria to do the job. You'll also end up with a much higher quality soil. Just look at an old fallen tree thats been sitting on the ground for a year or two. You'll find earthworms there. I live on an acreage, and we pile up old manure and let it sit for several years. It becomes riddled with earthworms. True, the pile becomes hard as iron, but that's because of settling, not the worms. In a couple years, it's basically back to being dirt. We spread it on the garden, and it turns the garden soil into the fluffiest, mellowist soil you ever will see. Always have a good crop in the garden, year after year. Plus, there's earthworms in there too. Specter Grade 11 Science student
