The idea is to put it right in the garden. To make one, cut the bottom out of a five-gallon bucket, drill holes half way up it, and bury it to that depth. Fill the installed bucket halfway up with manure, adding food scraps and weeds to top it off. Finally, put in some compost worms (not earthworms) and fill the bucket all the way with water. The nutrients will drain into the garden. It’s important to put the lid on the bucket to protect the worms from sunlight and birds. Though the lid isn’t airtight, it will also prevent the contents from drying out. Plus, the top can be used as a birdbath or a sprinkler stand. The same setup can be helpful between two fruit trees or in the middle of a circle of them. Key Takeaways: • A worm farm bucket in the garden is a simple, low-maintenance way to fertilize a small space. Buckets are easy to make, and they send nutrients directly to the garden. • The bucket lids are important for protecting the worms from sunlight and birds, as well as preventing the contents from drying out.
