What is the best environment for my Worm Factory®?
Worms need to be protected from freezing, direct rain and sun. They work best at temperatures of 50-75 degrees. Worms are cold blooded so when temperatures go below 40 degrees they stop working, huddle together to keep warm and will freeze if exposed to freezing temperatures for extended periods of time. Over 85 degrees they get too hot, dehydrate and die. Worms prefer the dark. Their skin has photocells that are light sensitive. They will burrow into the compost when exposed to light.
