Well my worms just had a population explosion! My bin is producing wonderful juice for the house plants, I just need to keep the little guys warm enough in the garage. It's been in the low 20's here for over a week now! Teens before that. I don't want frozen worms!

Hi Jo, maybe you could do what we do to keep the chill off of little one's a heat lamp on a timer that will turn it on and off so you do not have to watch it. Another thing a friend on mine did was built a poly foam box and put house insulation doubled on the bottom and single on the sides and top. It kept his worms snug as a bug - sorry for the lame pun.
I have been considering starting up my bins again - are you sure your not peeking in my brain??

If it gets really cold are you going to have to put a heating pad or something out there?

No, but that's a great idea! I've been figuring how much they eat, and how not to overfeed. They're really fun!

That is great Jo! Do you put blankets around the bin to keep them insulated a bit more?
