How we keep red wigglers alive through the winter in zone 5:
1) Build a large hot compost pile for the worms in the fall (at least 1 cubic yard)
2) Make sure the compost pile is in a sunny location
3) Keep the pile hot as long as possible by continuing to add brown and green ingredients as the compost cooks down
4) Cover the pile with a sheet of plastic
OYR is all about growing a lot of food on a little land using sustainable organic methods, while keeping costs and labor at a minimum. Emphasis is placed on improving soil quality with compost, mulch, and compost tea. No store-bought fertilizers, soil amendments, pesticides, compost activators, etc. are used.
