How To Make A DIY 5-Gallon Bucket Worm Tower
Channel: GreenShortz DIY

This is likely the easiest DIY worm tower build...and the cheapest, especially if you can find salvage materials. It is also a higher-volume worm tower option, if you need more space for compostables. I make make my 5-gallon bucket worm tower with metal screen cover the air and leachate holes to keep out moles, voles and rats, which will chow down on your composting worm colony. Window screen is also used on the air circulation holes to keep out soldier flies.

I'll bury this worm tower deep in my garden to help the worms stay  warmer for the winter. To add insulation for the colder months, I'll cover with compost, leaves or grass, or a combination.

To set up the worm tower with worms and compostables, watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJ7lNsCmCrg
