No way. There may be a leaf problem, but that could be due to the trees not producing as many leaves. Around here, there's been drought the last few years, so a lot of trees are dying. Now, as to earthworms, they are not a "problem". They have been around for many, many millenia, doing the same thing they are now, which is decomposing plant and animal matter and reintroducing it back into the soil. As to leaves covering the ground, they naturally decompose anyway. Nothing to do with the earthworm, except that once the leaves rot into the ground, they are food for earthworms.

Now, think on this a while: Charles Darwin wrote about the beneficial effects of earthworms on the soil. Since the 1800's, which was when he lived, scientists have only confirmed his theories.

P.S. I've been learning about this stuff in science since elementary school. If they've been teaching it to me all the way up to high school, it can't be all wrong.
