Hey Bart,
I certainly HOPE it won't get that hot! There are a lot of worms in that bed.
This is why I am adding materials slowly over time. By the time it is at its max height the serious winter weather will be here. My aim is to keep it as close ...
Hi Bart,
How big is this system? I live in a climate that is quite similar to yours (likely even colder though - and once the serious winter hits it lasts for 2-3 months).
Volume and insulation are both very important considerations. Last year I ...

I wanted to go with raised beds and EFs because in North Carolina I felt the worms would survive the mild winters. I will still use the vermicompost in the garden, but keep the worms inside.
