“There are many options for setting up an effective vermicomposting operation.
However, worm bins in exposed spaces are apt to stay close enough to freezing in colder climates that the worms’ activities slow down to a minimum in winter. On the other hand, bins in enclosed, heated spaces (such as the basement) are apt to be too limited in size.
The great beauty of setting up the operation in a greenhouse – assuming you dig the bins into the earth for maximum protection from temperature extremes (summer or winter) – is that there is never a dormant period in the composting cycle.
However hot or cold the ambient temperatures, the worms in their earth-protected bins continue to feed and reproduce…”
