Thought about composting waste in a worm farm that would be located in the basement from which I'd bring the worm castings and worm tea out to the garden but thought that there ought to be an easier way and did some searching on YouTube and found out about worm towers.

Appropriate waste would go straight to the garden rather then down to a worm farm in the basement or to the compost pile behind the storage building.
