Earthworms in a Lg Pot

Hello to All,

We finally had a nice rain from TS Patricia; about 6-7" slow inches [Excellent]. Saw a few earthworms make their way to pool decking. I just installed 3 plants into clay pots w a 15-16 dia and depth of 14-15". The contents entailed roses soiled, bedding soil and I also mixed in some granulated molasses and cotton-seed-meal. I mixed-up all the soils and molasses and CSM real well in a 5 gal bucket, then added to pot and watered..

I was wondering would the soil size be dynamic enough for earthworms. I also mixed in a lot of molasses and c-seed-meal into the garden soils 2 months ago, so when I dug up plants to put into pots, there were some earthworms then too that were went into the pot. I can add organic matter to pot as needed...thanks for your feedback. Note: these pots are outside and soil is near top of pots. I'm pretty sure if they do not like their biosphere, they can make their way out.
