Dean,
There are lots of good reasons for vermiculture but seeding soil with worms
is not one of them. Usually worm bin and soil worms are a different kind of
worm unless you have very high organic matter like a muck soil and even then
the type you get in a bin wont persist in the soil.

I've been reading lately that the red worms for vermicomposting have damaged forest floors when released into the wild.
