Only time will tell.ĭo you compost? I’d love to hear about your system. From what I read they do have a good chance of survival. I have no idea if they will survive a Minnesota winter in the garden and worm tower. Honestly I was worried about getting the worms…would they still be alive? Yep…red and wiggly. I grabbed a couple handfuls of shredded paperwork and started layering the material in the tower. The paperwork that came with them said they also enjoy paper and cardboard. I started saving kitchen scraps after ordering my worms. This was a strange bin to find on my front step a few days later. never ceases to amaze me with what I am able to order. Now all I needed was some composting worms. I back filled all around the tower and attached it with one screw just in case some critter decided to try and mess with it. Now it was time to install … I dug down to the bottom of the box…well truth be told the box doesn’t have a solid bottom….just landscape cloth. We even had an old handle in the shed from the sandbox cover. Isn’t that awesome…they do the work for me! The holes let the worms migrate in and out of the tower to spread the compost throughout the raised bed. G did the construction and drilling of the holes for me after I explained my idea. Since we had scrap cedar laying around it seemed like a perfect use without spending any money. Most of the links I saw used a PVC pipe instead of wood. It looked like a great solution for my raised bed garden. I read about worm tower composting on Pinterest.
