Three reasons:

1) If they're not in the fridge, their "home", whatever it may be (box,

somebody's gonna forget to keep the worm bedding damp. Not wet. Damp.


True. My bin is plastic so there is no mosture loss


2) Because *all* sources of worm-raising information suggest keeping them
cool.

Been doing it for ten years and never heard of putting them in the
fridge. I agree that over 80d is too warm (but won't harm them). Over
the long term, worms in an enclosed environment will adjust their
population to the environment and food volume.


3) Stick your hand 6" down into the outdoor soil in April. It's pretty
cold,
and the worms are perfectly happy.

I've been asking my womr bin fellas for years how happy they are and
they will not tell me!


Mine are unionized worms. Our written agreement specifies that they
communicate, to avoid disagreements. Their health plan's a bitch, though.
