I use buckets to make my worm towers, and then every so often place another bucket on top to entice the worms upwards into "fresh" food. This means I can harvest the worm castings left in the bucket.

I put one in for a 'client' (friend who pays me to garden) the other day. Do you tend to water yours every now and then (inside the worm tower) Morag?

Yes – every now and then I will add some water to make sure the materials inside are all moist. But usually the water from the surrounding garden seems enough to keep it moist.

Hi! I love your inspiring website and the many useful tips about how to make yourself things like toothpaste or washing powder, which I was looking for on the Internet. I just made a (low) worm tower, and was looking for an idea to make a lid and well, an up turned pot is doing super good… So many thanks and hope to read more:)

When we tried this in our vegie garden, the compost didn't break down. Months later it was still sitting. Any ideas why this would happen?

Hi, sounds like you need to water it a bit and make sure you add some compost worms down the hole too. Good Luck!
