DIY Worm Tower from Recycled Bottles - No Bin Needed!
♻️ Why This Worm Tower Works
This DIY worm tower is made entirely from recycled plastic bottles — no bins, piles, or digging required. Perfect for small patios, balconies, or even indoor corners.
As worms break down kitchen scraps, they naturally migrate upward, leaving behind rich worm castings and worm tea you can harvest without disturbing them.
🔧 What Makes It Different
✅ Stackable and modular
✅ Collects worm tea in the base
✅ No mess, no smell, no special tools
✅ Ideal for red wigglers and micro gardens
✅ Fully upgradeable — scale up with 5L bottles
