Convert kitchen food scraps into rich garden compost with the power of worms and this simple cardboard “lodge." It sets up quickly with just a drill, hacksaw, and shovel.

Install this composter with just an 8" diameter tube in your garden or any convenient spot. Once installed it requires nothing but vegetable scraps, some leaves or shredded paper, and a bit of soil.

Unlike other above ground worm cafes, this cardboard model costs under $8.00. You will also need to find a lodge “roof,” I use an inverted salad bowl!

Now your worms will produce super-rich compost that feed plants immediately surrounding your lodge, plus create additional pounds of rich compost within a couple months to dig up and spread around your garden.
