{"product_id":"systems-worm-farming","title":"DIY Worm Tower Plans: Three stacked buckets, a lid and some mesh: a worm tower that makes castings · Alt Ordo Systems Guide","description":"\u003cp\u003eA worm farm is a shallow, dark, damp box of bedding where red worms eat your kitchen scraps and turn them into castings, a fine, dark soil amendment. There is no turning and no heat. It fits under a sink, on a porch or in a cabin corner, and the simplest version is three 5-gallon buckets stacked into a tower. This guide keeps our original Worm Tower plans as its centrepiece, corrects them against extension research, and adds bins, sizing and what to do with the castings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis guide helps you build the three-bucket worm tower from our original plans, size a bin to your kitchen, feed and harvest it through the year, and use the castings where they do the most good.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's inside.\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 pages in 7 chapters (At a glance, Where it works, How it works, Size it, Build and run it, Rules and permits, How it connects), then the sources and a notes page. 5 numbered figures drawn for this guide.
