8. BUY WORMS FOR WORM TOWER?

We wanna have several worm towers in our garden, should we just wait for
"normal" worms to come to our tower filled with manure and kitchen
scraps, or do we need to buy and supply composting worms? Where do we
find these worms to buy? What about the winter, will the worms die and
come back or do we need to supply new ones each year?

compost pile often is too hot for
worms.

a worm tower i take to be a
stackable arrangement that you
can remove the bottom without
disturbing the top to take off
finished materials?

worms do not like to be frozen
and will die or head underground
for the winter. or keep some of
them inside in the basement and
feed them leftover veggie scraps
during the winter. it's a great
way to get your hands in the dirt
once in a while when it's too cold
to play outside.

if you stockpile some dried materials
from the summer (bean husks, chopped
and dried alfalfa, clovers, some weeds,
etc.) that can help supplement their
veggie scrap diet too. if you have
bunnies their droppings are great worm
food.

good luck and enjoy!
