Using Your Garden Tower

The Garden Tower planter works on an aerobic (with air) composting principal, so light, fluffy soil is best. Issues can arise from over-compaction, either in the soil column or in the compost column. Straw, grass, leaves & coir are good bedding for worms and should periodically be added directly in the compost column to avoid compaction.

Start with at least 250-500 composting worms for the center compost tube. Add at least 25-50 earthworms into the soil column.

A general watering schedule during the growing season is 4-6 gallons of water every 2-3 days. That being said, this will vary for everyone, and we recommend watering with a container instead of a hose to avoid over-watering.

Every so often, once the column is full, you can empty some of the finished compost from the bottom. To do so, ensure the drawer has no water in it and pull the screen out half way to allow vermicompost to exit the bottom of the compost column, and fall into the drawer. You can use the finished compost in your gardens, and the liquid that drains down through the tower is also an ideal fertilizer.

What to Feed your Worms:

Most fruit and vegetable scraps, pulps from juicer
Cooked food
Tea leaves/bags and coffee grounds
Crushed/ground eggshells
Hair, vacuum cleaner dust, soiled paper, tissue, paper towels, shredded egg cartons
Shredded newspaper, cardboard, sawdust (untreated), wood ash
Lawn clippings in small quantities, weeds, clippings, prunings, dirt and leaves

What to Avoid or Limit:

Limit citrus and acidic fruit skin
Limit bread, pasta and other wheat based products
Avoid hard fruit pits
Avoid spice foods, onions, garlic and leeks
Avoid animal products such as meat, dairy, or fats
Avoid shiny paper
Do not feed rotten food to your worms

Taking Care of Your Worms

Worms are low maintenance and will be happy as long as they are fed, have enough moisture, and are kept between 40° and 80° F. Worms should be protected from extreme temperatures. The vertical tower planters can be used successfully both indoors and outdoors, and they are a great space-saver in a greenhouse!

You don't need to feed your worms every day – just add scraps as you have them. We recommend a generous handful or two of food every couple of days. Worms can survive up to 2 weeks without any new food. Worms reproduce inside the tower according to their space limitations. They will regulate their own population, so you never need to worry about overcrowding your tower.

It is very important that the Garden Tower compost is not overfed. Worms prefer to eat their food as it begins to decompose, but not if it has become slimy and smelly.

In Mid & Northern regions, overwintering is possible during milder winters. In a cold winter, we suggest that the center compost should be removed (with worms) and placed in a 1-foot deep hole in the ground outside of your dwelling (if accessible). Alternatively, you could empty the contents and worms into a indoor worm composting system.

Beautiful, Artistic, and Powerful Truths!!
Format: Hardcover
I absolutely love Ruth Chou Simons newest book!! Beholding and Becoming is a work of art, overflowing with Ruth’s soulful, encouraging words and illustrations that capture your heart and soul. Her faith-filled wisdom, stunning artistry, quotes, and use of Biblical stories and verses blend together flawlessly to create a beautiful and engaging experience for the reader. The author bares her soul with honest vulnerability as she shares relatable everyday struggles and sheds the light of Jesus on them. The book is about becoming, and being transformed, by beholding Jesus, living life Christ-centered, and worshiping Him in the amazing and not so amazing details of our everyday lives. I find her lyrical writing to be convicting and soul-awakening. Ruth’s words had a profound effect on me-she opened the floodgates to my weary soul. She gently spoke life to the places in my soul that felt wilted and overgrown. God knew I needed to read the words written on the pages of this amazing book. This is one of my favorite quotes by Ruth Chou Simons in Chapter 13, God’s Mercy When Things Seem Unfair: “His grace causes us to see ourselves truthfully: undeserving of His relentless love and lavish generosity. His great mercy fills the cracks of our unbelief and-when received-allows little room for bitterness and discontentment to spring up.” What a powerful message! I was enthralled by her beautiful artwork, captivated by her writing, and blessed by the powerful truths she shares. Each page, each delicate flower, the colors, and placement within the chapters heightens the reader’s experience. The author’s passion and loving faith are evident in every detail. I will be reading Beholding and Becoming daily, to inspire and lift my spirits by lifting my gaze to God, to draw closer and glorify Him in my everyday details, and to remind me how much I am loved. I loved Beholding and Becoming and I believe everyone that reads it will feel the same. Ruth Chou Simons desire and passion to draw others closer to God, to live and breathe our faith day in and day out is apparent throughout her beautifully written and illustrated book. It’s a gift rich in truths that open your eyes and soul to Jesus’ lavish love. I feel so blessed by having experienced Beholding and Becoming.

Challenging, encouraging, and oh so beautiful
Format: Hardcover
I’ll start by saying what may already be obvious, this book, Beholding and Becoming, The Art of Everyday Worship by Ruth Chou Simons, is *beautiful*. The artwork throughout is entirely comprised of watercolors by Ruth. I have been familiar with and loved her work so much over the years, and even so, the beauty in this book exceeded my expectations. One of my favorite things is the glossary where she gives the meanings of the recurring things she painted and invites you to sit awhile to experience the words and the art together and be encouraged. The beauty in Beholding and Becoming is not limited to the artwork. The words are just as lovely. Each of the book’s 16 chapters is broken down into 2 sections: Beholding and Becoming. Ruth gives us a concept or attribute of the Lord to Behold and then gives us encouragement in allowing Christ to work in us so we can Become. The first chapter starts out with a bang in “Beholding: God’s Greatness in Creation” and then moves to “Becoming: It’s OK to be Small”. Ruth asks us the question of, Are we ok with God being great and us being not great? How do we see us and the Lord? Are we in control or is He? Other examples of chapters throughout the book are “Beholding: God’s Provision in the Unremarkable/Beholding: Learning to Love What Must Be Done” and “Beholding: God’s Example for Family/Becoming: The Mission Field is at Your Kitchen Table”. My favorite is the last chapter “Beholding: Our True Home/Becoming: Actively Abide”. In it Ruth talks of how nothing of this world will satisfy; our true home is in Him, the Lord Himself. Our longings will be satisfied solely in Him because He is whom we were created for. We were made to abide in him, but that abiding is an active thing not a passive one. It is a choice, a “deliberate pursuit”. If allowed, this book will pierce and prod, it will challenge and encourage. It offers us an opportunity to really question how and what we think of the Lord. It encourages us to allow all the workings of our everyday lives to be places and times of worship not just something to grit our teeth and get through. Being called to be worshippers is not just a calling to do a thing, it’s calling to know and respond to a person. My very favorite thing about Ruth is her consistency, day in and day out, in pointing us to see Jesus: to be looking to Him for all things and in all things. Beholding and Becoming is a beautiful extension of Ruth’s daily encouragements to worship in the midst of the everyday. I highly recommend.

A Beautiful Book with a Timely Message for Any Season
Format: Hardcover
I’ve been a fan of Ruth’s work for years, with the way her simple yet beautiful art work makes me draw in my breath and then release it peacefully. Even more, I love her heart for God’s truth, and the simple yet profound ways she reminds me of what cannot be improved upon, God’s words and His work in creation and redemption. I got a little tingly when I first heard about this new book, “Beholding and Becoming”. I just knew this was meant for me in this season. I’m mothering a little one, often feeling like I’m failing more than thriving, investing in my marriage, trying to keep a house and a little homestead from falling apart and dying. I’m working full time, growing another little one in my belly, fearing changes ahead and constantly navigating the swirling opinions of others. This book reminds me to slow down, to gaze upon God’s truth for what it is- my lifeblood, the words of a loving God for ME, the gift of my salvation, and the only thing I should depend upon. I loved how Ruth infused such meaningful and symbolic elements into the art in this book. I didn’t think it could get any better than the first few chapters, but I was so wrong. The second half was somehow even more beautiful than the first! The colors and interesting elements in her paintings will draw your heart out even more to the words on the page, and will help you to slow down and reflect. This book was an easy read, but don’t think for a minute that it’s light in content. There’s nothing fluffy here. Ruth thoughtfully uses quotes both new and old, poetry, hymn lyrics, and difficult examples from daily life to draw out truths your heart may not want to hear, but will echo with certainty. I love the structure of the book, drawing your mind out in a “beholding” chapter, followed by a more practical “becoming” section, providing time-honored wisdom in how to cultivate the truth in your daily life, in any season. Each section left me smiling, pausing, sincerely convicted, and called to action. If the season you’re in could be described as tough, confusing, boring, frustrating, hopeless, busy, overwhelming, or scary, there is so much here for you. Savor it a little or a lot at a time-your heart will not be disappointed."

Beautifully done in every way
Format: Hardcover
The heartbeat of this book reflects what has long been the returning, churning desire of my heart. To see and behold our Beautiful Savior in every moment—the joyful, the ordinary, the painful moments— in the majestic and the mundane. To hear my Jesus call to me to look at Him, see Him, walk with Him in trust, behold His beauty, listen to His voice of love and see His hand of magnificent power through the wonder and marvel of His creation. Through Ruth’s words and her stunning artwork, I was completely drawn to the Savior, to linger in His presence. I longed to stay, overtaken by the beauty of my Lord’s life-giving words enhanced and magnified by stunning and arresting lettering and beautiful artwork. I know I will return to this book again and again. To read slowly and deliberately and to read with hunger, simply not wanting to put it down. It will encourage me to behold, worship and fix my gaze upon Jesus. As Ruth wrote: “He never forgets to send out the moon and stars! He sees you in your ordinary, daily, mundane faithfulness, and reminds you with the steady and consistent rhythms of the day, ‘I’m not going anywhere.’ And how that comforts us and causes our hearts to worship.” I highly recommend this book and recommend that you linger long on its’ beautiful, inspirational and “reason to pause” pages. This will also be a gorgeous and amazing book to gift. Thank you, Ruth, for sharing your heart and gifts with us and pointing us to Jesus.
