My dad composted even back in the 60s.

He wasn’t real organized. He would just dig a hole in a certain area of the yard, and bury kitchen waste around the same area. A couple years of that, and he would then dig that area into a new garden. Sometimes veggies, sometimes flowers, one year an apple tree.

Within five years, that Apple tree was producing so much fruit, he would have to prop the branches up with two by fours. People would stop and take pictures of it. It was amazing!

He would go under that tree and dig up fish bait, earth worms 10 inches long!

He was a remarkable gardener, and would have loved those worm towers.
