How do I attract more worms to my compost pile? (lemmy.ml)

I've been working on composting using another method besides trench composting for about two months now. I've enjoyed it so far, and been honestly trying to compost anything that is possible to compost. One thing I noticed though, as a moved from my brief time using a bucket (there were some holes), to a pile, is that I didn't see worms anymore. So I come to you composting experts to ask how can I bring more worms to my shady compost pile on clay soil.

The worms are probably hiding in the ground. They probably still go up to process the compost but then they stay in the soil when they are not eating.

So I would not worry, they are still there but just harder to see.
