How To Make A DIY Worm Tower

Рет қаралды 1,260,884

Күн бұрын

I make a simple DIY composting worm tower using 4 inch PVC pipe, window screen and a 4 inch PVC coupling. A worm tower goes directly in the garden and provides a habitat for your red wiggler composting worms. Feed them with your kitchen scraps and coffee grounds and they'll convert these "waste" products into organic fertilizer for your garden.
For my worm composters I use worms purchased from Uncle Jim's Worm Farm. Uncle Jim will give you a 10% discount on your online purchase if you use the coupon code "greenshortz" at checkout. website: www.unclejimswormfarm.com
(disclosure: I don't make money from this...they just deliver a great product)
Materials Needed:
(1) 2 foot length (or so) of 4 inch PVC pipe
(1) 4 inch PVC Repair coupling (note: a regular coupling will be cheaper, but tighter. You'll want to sand it out a little)
(1) 5 x 5 in square of window screen
Tools Needed:
Hand Saw
Drill with spade or forstener bit
Scissors or box knife (to cut screen)
Sand paper
Clamp (it helps with the cutting)

I already made a worm tower for my raised garden bed, but pit it further into the ground.....so many holes to drill. However, I found later on that I really didn't need the worm tower at all and removed it from the garden bed. You get the same outcome by just adding the worms directly to the garden bed and digging in food scraps on a regular basis. The worms love banana skins and cow manure. My raised bed are now FULL of red wigglers and plants are growing like crazy.

@GreenShortzDIY 7 жыл бұрын

Jelleff, good point. I agree that once your whole garden bed is colonized by your composting worms, a worm tower is redundant. I like getting things started with a worm tower, but once it is going you can add your kitchen scraps and food waste directly to the garden soil. That is how my grandfather did it. Thanks for your comment.

Lindsay Jelleff. hi, i saw your post and have a question. I also am a gardener using raised beds. I always brew compost tea but would like to use worms directly in my garden beds instead. When it comes time to replant, do you have to dig up the worms? could you give me more details on what I need to do to get started. I really appreciate your help!! Thank you!

@@connietaylor504 The worms live in the garden bed now. You don't need to remove them. But if you have really cold winters where your variety of worms wouldn't survive, then you may need to take some out. Eg, if you just depend on your native worms, then things are OK. But if you have brought in a special worm to do the job, such as red wigglers, then they may need protection from really cold weather.

@@tutupeacock Yes, most will drill small aeration holes just under the cap and glue in a piece of insect screen. All this is unnecessary though as all you need to do is bury scarps with in the top 6 inches of soil and cover it. Just grind eggshells and blend banana peels, add coffee, tea grounds then mix in a little paper or card board and direct apply to several areas through out your garden. So you will grind and liquify and add paper or cardboard pieces that have been shredded mix and bury. It is better to do small batches at a time.

It is not easy to sand down the outside of a curved surface. I sanded down the inside of one end of the union using a sanding wheel sold at Home Depot for use in a Dremel tool. (You could also use it in a regular drill.). It has many short flaps of sand paper that extend out from the shaft at one end. This tool made very fast work of sanding down the inside of five unions to make the screened lids for my towers.

I can at least be proud that her motivation is coming from her heart. She would prefer making this to making the “slime” all the kids are goofy over right now any day!. She watched a video about a turtle with a straw in its nose the other day and went through every single drawer in the house to collect all the plastic straws and dumped into our recycle bin. We have ordered “metal” straws so that she can refuse the plastic ones when we eat out. This is our weekend venture it seems. Wish us luck!

Hi Bama Mom. Excited that your young one is motivated. I've seen that turtle video. It is compelling. Hard to watch an innocent creature in pain...at the expense of human carelessness.

I've got a video on that too (you're not surprised :-) Thanks for watching.

@@annwithaplan9766 No, but it's pretty common, especially with cordless drills. These drills are referred to as 'power screw drivers' or 'driver/drills'. Look for a band just behind the chuck with numbers on it. Past the highest number setting is a drill bit icon, which locks up the clutch. The clutch is intended ONLY to act as a warning to let go of the trigger. If the clutch buzzes (slips) too often, you'll eventually strip it out. It is useful to prevent over-driving, stripping, or breaking screws. It is not the same buzz as with a hammer (masonry) drill or impact driver (mechanic's tool), both of which are designed to continuously deliver force while 'buzzing'.

I expect a tower inside a bin would have similar results. I think the flow-through worm composter is the best way to naturally separate worms from castings. At least my first harvesting test form the flow through bin didn't seem to have any worms coming out the bottom. I'll see what future harvests reveal...hopefully more of the same.

@kev1nme1er 8 жыл бұрын

No need for the screen, you need to take the top off to add your food anyway. and I would be concerned that a good solid week of heavy rain would have your worms very unhappy. Also, worms prefer darkness so a solid lid would allow them to migrate to the food scraps at the top of the tower. Love this idea and will try it in my garden. Curious where you live. I'm in Canada where temperatures get to -30 C and colder so typical composting worms wouldn't survive outdoors. Not sure if I need to bring the worms inside in the winter or just repurchase new ones every spring. Another possibility would be to just use the native earth worms, but I'm not sure they will eat food scraps as fast as red wigglers.

@GreenShortzDIY 8 жыл бұрын

Kevin, I'm in Atlanta, Georgia. So we don't do -30 C. Yowza! I'd consider capturing what worms you could and bring them in for the winter. A basement or laundry room would be ideal. Or perhaps, burying your worm bin in a very thick layer of compost and soil, even then that might not insulate enough to combat -30 C. Regarding the screen question, I've had soldier flies take over my worm bins if they get unrestricted access. But, the screen is optional. Do you find soldier flies in CA? On the earthworm question, their biology is different. They process soil, versus compostable materials, so they wouldn't do what the red wiggler composting worms do. I'm not a biologist, but there are some interesting videos that get into the differences. All that being said, a compost pile eventually breaks down into soil.

Kevin, if composting worms is too much work due to the -30 C temperatures during winter, then you could do a wire mesh tower (about a foot or two in diameter) and do straight composting without the worms, the wire mesh will allow plenty of air to circulate and the bottom layer of the compost will feed the plants, and for watering you could just lay on top of the compost pile a plastic gallon jug with water and a small hole/s at the bottom for slow irrigation of the compost pile once or twice a week.

The comment about the rain doesn't make sense because even if the top of the worm tower were covered with something, the rain still falls on the rest of the garden bed, where supposedly, worms have moved into and out of.

Powdered egg shells are good grit for worms too. But do not use shells from raw eggs. Bake shells at 200 degrees for 20 minutes (this kills bacteria and dries them out), let cool, then grind in coffee grinder. Grind to a fine powder. You can keep the egg shell powder in the freezer if you have more than you need, then add a little at a time as needed to your worm bins.

right, be very, very, very careful how you dispose of something natural into something natural for something natural. don't forget to also first freeze them, drive them around the block twice, read them a story, put oil on them, take the oil off, then spray them with some chemical. This is why I wouldn't be a chicken farmer...the daily stress of an egg hitting the ground.

Interesting video. Looks easy and I would like to try it. I have a few questions. Exactly what type of composting worms do you use in the tube; red wigglers, European Night Crawlers? How often do you add water, scraps and bedding to the system? Is it ok to fill the remainder of the tower above ground with scraps and bedding material? Do you ever cover the top to protect from excessive water from rain pouring in? Red Wigglers will freeze in the winter. Do you recover these worms to overwinter them in a bin or leave this tower as it?

@GreenShortzDIY 7 жыл бұрын

I've always used Red Wigglers for my composting worms. I get them from Uncle Jim's Worm Farm online. He's got European Night Crawlers too, but they cost a little more. I add food scraps almost daily and cover them with more newspaper bedding. A fresh cover of bedding helps keep the odor down and other bugs away. You can keep adding to the tower. While it wouldn't hurt to fill it with scraps and bedding (the worms will work it down), I'd recommend having two towers to split your scraps between. Or build the 5-gallon bucket worm tower, it has a lot more volume. Here's the video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l8t2f5Wr3buaqps.html I wouldn't worry about rain being excessive. Water helps move nutrients into the garden soil and the porousness of the compost will percolate well. In terms of over wintering, the worms will migrate deeper in the garden to find warmth. They can freeze if they can't get deep enough, or if they are kept above ground in a bin. The 5-gallon bucket worm tower is designed to be buried deeper, with a layer of wood chips or hay over the top for insulation, allowing worms to be protected during the colder months. Thanks for watching and for your questions.

@gameenders5017 2 жыл бұрын

Red wigglers are more beneficial because they stay near the top of the soil. Nightcrawlers stay deeper so maybe help established plants with deep roots more, but the waste nutrients from the wrigglers will drain down to deeper roots too.

From North Carolina, USA. I made similar worm towers and put them into new beds several years ago. Early returns were everything I hoped for, and then . . My vegetable plants began to do poorly due to tunneling in their root zones. The culprits were moles, drawn by the worm cornucopia. The damage was so pronounced that I had to remove the towers and count on natural reproduction to maintain a more dispersed worm population.

Hi Thomas, Great idea and presentation. Thank you. Do you have any info about the temperatures that the worms can survive in this set up. I thought they have to be in 50-70 deg F for optimal performance. What happens if the temperatures dropped to 30 deg F? Thanks.

@GreenShortzDIY 7 жыл бұрын

+Romin Hawk you are are correct on the temperature range that composting worm thrive in. I've sometimes seen the top end at 80 degrees F. If they can't get to warmer temperatures in the ground, they will die when it freezes. In a worm tower setting they will migrate out into the garden to stay warm. A good top dressing of wood chips can help them overwinter in a garden bed. If you've got composting worms in an above ground container, where they can't escape, they can freeze to death. I move my bins in the garage for the winter. A laundry room or basement are better options. Thanks for your question.

You can also find composting worms in your local environment, by searching for worms in compost piles or leaf matter (their habitat). It's not 100% that they'll be a composting worm, but it's free. It takes longer to get started that way, but it is possible. Thanks for watching.

So, it would be safe to consider having a tower for each plant. I simply transplant my veg plants into a hole filled with everything the worms love to eat. The worms feed the plants, the plants flower, die and the worms eat them and create a wonderfully rich soil for the following growing season. I love you idea and appreciate your time.

So, I think your increased awareness of and reduction of plastic in your life is valid and I'd stand with you on that. A good bit of the ocean garbage gyre problem is human negligence, the proliferation of single use plastics and the improper disposal of those materials, leading to them ending up in the waterways and ultimately the ocean. All that said, plastic is an amazing material for long term, durable uses. I view my use of PVC as this type of use. I will concede that I don't fully know the impact of photo degradation in my worm tower application. I need to do more research on that. I did create my wood worm tower video based on a viewer's concern about PVC. If I make more worm towers, I'll use this method. I wouldn't call your concern, "overreacting." Rather, I'd say "passionately proactive." Thanks for watching and for your comment.

GreenShortz DIY Thanks. Plastics are a man-made product. Unlike other materials which can be degraded by sunlight and microorganisms plastics only photo-degrade into small pieces of plastics called nurdles. There are no organisms which can break-down the nurdles meaning they will last forever. Fish and animals eat the plastic thinking it's food and starve to death. The other issue with the plastic nurdles is they act like a magnet and absorb and concentrate pesticides. So as these plants and animals in our food chain "eat" the nurdles amount of pesticides is on the order of 100 times of what they would normally be getting.
