The similar system I envisioned was originally planned as a pet waste composter, but of course would work for any type of compostable wastes. 8) Hi Eve – that is a perfect way to put this type of system to use.

I had a few pipes hidden in the shrubbery around the yard. So it would be an easy walk to a tube when picking up puppy presents. It worked like a charm. The only drawback was i had to keep trimming the bushes more than i would have liked. I did luck out and place one tube next to a berry bush that was supposed to only get 10 feet high it ended up over twice as high. It produced more berry's than i could ever want.

Regular earthworms would certainly invade the lower regions of the worm tower and would end up enriching the soil in the area. This would actually be a great way to increase the abundance of soil worms in a garden!

I have a question. Can you do this with Euro Nightcrawlers or the Earthworm? Compostig might not be as fast. Hi,

As long as you had enough food waste / manure etc, it would be great. Unlike my vermicomposting trenches, this type of system is also well protected from rain etc (ie it would never get too sloppy - you could control water going in) B Hi Red,

I imagine having a bunch of them in my garden and pulling them up to till at the end of the season. This is a great idea.
