This wasn't originally a worm project, but it's turning out to have an interesting application.
Our composting worms aren't really going to enjoy winter unless they can stay ever so slightly above freezing... so what can we do to help?
First off, I raked out my garden beds and put down a fresh layer of newspaper over each bed. Then topped them off with grass clippings and about 4" of composted horse manure.
Then, compliments of my friends at www.WhollyBuckets.com I started putting the Bucket Huts over the soil.
The first set of buckets that I put out had holes in them already for spring seedlings to grow thru, but the others will be left solid until spring to absorb light and hold as much heat as possible through the winter months.
