What is Betterplants Worm Tower
nA worm tower is, essentially, a mini worm farm that you plant in your garden, that continually feeds your garden and provides you with a rich, ongoing source of fertiliser. They are low cost to get started, exceptionally simple to fit and nearly effortless to maintain. The only real question to ask yourself is, Why don’t I already have one?

How a worm tower works.
nThe concept of a worm tower, remarkably like a worm bin, it is partially buried into the soil of the garden. You can put compostable waste directly into the worm tower where worms enter through the holes and can consume it. The worms can exit the tower to scatter castings around your garden. This aerate the soil when they burrow around. Plants love this worm fertiliser and will grow larger and healthier with it. The tiger worm provided will live in the tower moving up and down depending in the heat.

What is “waste” ideal for the worm tower?
nYard waste such as grass clippings, old, dried leaves, and peat moss. Food waste: Avoid anything overly citrus. My worms enjoy apples, minus the seeds, banana and/or just the peel, lettuce, carrot skins and tops, and almost any vegetables. Paper waste: Slightly damp corrugated cardboard, paper towel or toilet paper rolls, paper bags, and black and white paper such as junk mail.

Why you need one in your garden?
nGood soil is essential for life. Anyone who has a garden (or even a house plant!) has seen a microcosm of this in action. The ground is not just something we walk on or that plants anchor in. It is something that nurtures us and every other form of life on the planet in some sense. Plants need rich, fertile, living soil to thrive truly.
n
nWe learned that constantly growing crops (mostly the same crop) on the same plot of land would diminish the soil’s ability to nurture plants. Crop rotation can help, but it is a method that’s not always practical or possible. Chemical fertilisers are commonly used but do you want to be putting chemicals on your plants. Chemical products tend to force-feed the plants and do little for the soil long term. You are using these worm towers along with our organic fertilisers, a great way to create and use compost and minimal effort on your part.

We source all our seaweed from Irish suppliers and make sure they are a 100% Natural product. We have been using seaweed products in our garden for years and found that there were a lot of products on the market that did not really do what they would claim to do, that they had a lot of chemicals in them and some were so watered down that the goodness was gone out of the seaweed.
