Last Updated: 2nd March, 2020
What's a worm tube? Standing tall at 2 1/2 feet a worm tube is a plastic sewer pipe that's buried in your garden which shelters your worms who eat your compost. The bottom 18 inches have numerous holes that allow for the worms to enter and exit the tube.

Similarly, you may ask, how do you make a worm tube?
PVC pipe can work just fine to create a worm tube. Cut the pipe into sections with a circular saw or hack saw and then drill 1-inch holes into the bottoms of the pipes using a hole saw. Other people have had success with 1/4-inch holes drilled into the main pipe.
Likewise, how do I use worm wee in my garden? Worm wee is continuously collected in the pan under your worm farm. Before giving it to plants, dilute it with water about 10:1 to the colour of weak tea. Once a tray is full of broken down food and worm castings, it's time to harvest your soil fertiliser.
Keeping this in consideration, what is a worm tower?
A Worm Tower is basically a length of pipe buried halfway in the ground with holes drilled in the buried part for worms to get in and out. Food scraps are added directly to the tower instead of into your composting bin, and are eaten by worms already living in the target part of your yard.
Should I put worms in my raised garden?
The worms that work the soil, making tunnels and creating good soil structure, are earthworms, which are not generally (ever?) for sale. So, no, it's not necessary to add worms to raised beds, even if you could find any for sale. Worms will find their way through the cardboard, no problem.
