Heat wave
Posted: Thu Aug 13, 2020 2:50 pm
Dear worm carers/lovers,
Sadly, my worms have not survived the heat wave. I live in a flat with a large balcony but do not have a safe place such as a garage for them to hide when it is above 30 degrees for several days. I had placed some damp newspapers and ice freezer blocks. I also stopped giving them food waste. However, I had to go away for a couple of days so could not renew this on a daily basis. I started my wormery in May and was very excited but did not anticipate a heat wave could be so challenging. I would welcome any tips from someone in a similar situation.
Many thanks for your help!
