I'm going to build a wormery using a wheelie bin, which will stand
in my back yard.

However, what do people do with them in the winter? Do the worms
freeze or do people bring them inside the house?


Worms are cold blooded, they've been surviving winters for millions
of years.

But they burrow below frost level. What would happen if the wormery
froze solid?


our wheelie is 4ft high and over 20 inches in diameter, he's not going to
get a frost which can penetrate over 10 inches overnight.
