Hot Worms

Remember to keep your Worms  WET & COOL in this weather.  Be extra diligent in the plastic bins as they may absorb the outside heat and cook your worms. Keep these bins in a cool place, elevate for better air circulation and open up the lid for more air circulation. The wood bins and barrels are not as prone to cooking the worms in this heat. Keep the soil as wet as a damp sponge (until you squeeze it and 1-2 drops of water are squeezed out).

This reminder is referring to weather above 75 degrees. Worms prefer temperatures of 55-75 degrees, they are most active in this temperature range.

My worm farming hobby began in 1999. I soon became amazed by the hard working wigglers eating my kitchen garbage and organic matter. I turned my hobby into a business in 2005. The health, vigor, color and taste of my fruits and vegetables have increased dramatically. My soil Biology has been improved and enhanced with the use of Vermicompost and Aerated Worm Tea.
