If you get earthworms, what you first want to do (lest you feed the thrushes) is break up a couple of inches of the topsoil, which will allow them to burrow.
And, while worms (and it is earthworms) to convert leaves to soil, they need a layer of them, so they can squirm around and eat the leaves.
I think the rate of deposition is about 1/4 inch per year.
