What Is a Worm Tunnel

A worm tunnel is a plastic tube or bucket buried in the garden that has holes in it with the bottom cut out. It is then filled with compost material and worm bedding for the worms to come and feed on the organic matter and help turn it into dark-rich compost and worm castings to use in the garden.

You can easily improve your garden soil with this approach by installing a few worm tunnels in your garden to spread the rich composted matter around your garden. My tutorial will help you step-by-step with how to install your worm tunnels and how to feed the worms. I love improving my garden soil with this approach and avoiding unsightly compost piles in my yard.

If you built it, they will come. If you build a cozy worm tunnel, free worms will come and begin to snack inside on the goodies you provide for them. You do not need to go buy any composting worms when you build a cozy food-filled worm tunnel for them.
