Bentley, any follow up to how this worked for you? I’m interested in trying this and was hoping for some feedback. It seems like most posts I read are very soon after they initially “plant” their worm towers. But I rarely see any follow-up.
Thanks!

Bentley,
A girl “down under” did something like that sometime back. She made a short video. Enjoy.

Sorry for delay approving comments (not even sure why I need to keep approving yours, John!) .

John/Fred – The pipes are just shy of 2 feet in length (compensates for flared end which I didn’t use). In hindsight, I could have created with 6 towers (from a 10 ft pipe) and ended up with a better length. These ones seem a wee bit long for my liking. I agree 4″ does seem a bit narrow, but it encourages me to help the worms along by really chopping up the materials going in – otherwise, it will fill up in no time!

Chris – yes caps on both ends. Others seem to leave their towers open at the bottom, but I’d prefer to be able to remove the unit with everything inside when it comes time to do so.

What is the length of the pipe? Some reason I feel garbage can is too big and 4″ pvc pipe is small.. lolz such an imperfect world. Let’s find something in between. But PVC might work too. Thanks for great idea…

How long did you make the towers?
