Worm Check, One Two.

Just thought I'd let you know that, despite the cold weather, my little wormery guys are still alive. In the autumn, I moved them into the greenhouse and made a sort of lagging jacket out of a cardboard box and some bubble wrap. I also made a "hat" out of more bubble wrap and a plastic tray to keep everything in place. Well, it's done the trick. I'm still getting leachate, albeit in rather smaller quantities than in the summer and I'm feeding them around half the amount of kitchen waste. I'm still adding lime mix at the rate of a handful every four weeks that seems to work for me. I'm quite optimistic that they'll survive until the spring provided that we don't have another winter like 1963. Fingers crossed.
