It's a type of earthworm (

It might prove my idea right. I guess the soil needs to be recharged with things these little guys eat, but if it is something simple like eggshells and some simple salts...then it would make the whole thing easier than preparing compost in a flat.
P.S. just found this post on earthworms in pots.

They say it is a bad idea if they are so-called wigglers, but others say that earthworms do a good job of keeping the soil fertilized. Interesting.
