Vermicomposting in the cold-climate apartment – Heat

I started these web pages about eight years ago, titled “Vermicomposting For The Cold-Climate Apartment Dweller”, with the main focus on vermicomposting when you can’t have your bin outside.

Toronto has just passed through the hottest days/nights in a million years or so, you know what I mean. “Records Broken!” is the phrase that comes to mind on seeing the number of competing newspaper headlines.

My finishing Chest – a two-foot square laundry tub of white plastic revealed a pound of worms huddled in one corner above the soil, exposed to broad daylight, and a film of worms escaping up .

The contents of the tub had heated to the extent that daylight was preferable to heat.

Poor buggers.

I removed the cover half-way to let cooler (but only slightly) afternoon air waft over them, and they went home.

This morning things appear to have returned to normal after last nights major thunderstorms cleared the air.

But Oh! I didn’t expect to be reporting on measures to get my buddies to Chill Out!
