The size of the tubes is totally up to you, but if I was going to do it I’d definitely want a good 2-3 feet underground – so total might be about 5 feet or so. Holes might be good at 1/2-1 inch I’d think – again, not likely any strict rules here.

Brenda – great question. If it were me I would make sure it was deep in the ground, and would also heap LOTS of organic matter (leaves, straw etc) up around the exposed section and then cover with a tarp. The idea would be to keep the worms alive – not to actually keep it active.

Do you have to screen the dirt to get the worms back? It gets to -45 here in the winter.
Thanks

Planning on have some worm towers as well. What size are the tubes, how long are they, and how big are the holes at the bottom? Love this site!
