Questions on temps…indoor vs outdoor
Just starting out in this adventure I have had several questions and with much research I have found several answers and even more contradictions. So after just starting with a small recycling container worm bin I realized that I need a long term plan in case i don’t accidentally kill these red wiggles.
I realize that my next decision for a long term plan will be determining my appropriate container and that will depend on if I store them indoors or outdoors. I’d rather store them outdoors in my garage, but I have read that the temperature range for red wigglers is between 40 and 85 degrees F. I live in the Boston mountains of the Ozarks in zone 7b. We reach well below freezing in the winter and as high as 100 in the summer. I’ve read of others managing this, but I wonder if using a CFT in my garage is really even a reasonable consideration in my environment.
I have been looking at the Urban Worm Bag, Worm Hotel, and Vermibag which all seem very nice, but I wonder how size of the bag affects heat distribution in both summer and winter.
