Worms die during summer, that's ridiculous.


Its gets very hot here in Summer in Melbourne, Australia. About 42C...
that's about 120F?


In what's essentially desert composting is a waste of time.

Sheldon you moron, Melbourne is a major Australian city in a temperate
climate. ?Think Los Angeles rather than Las Vegas and you might get the
picture.


You're the moron. Most of LA county is essentially desert, the ground
holds little moisture (C-ment rivers), it's primarily sand and rock.

Snort! You obviously failed to notice that between your 'desert' comment and
my 'moron' comment there was a post from "Laura at the garden pages" who
lives in California and makes compost.

And even in rock and sand, it is still possible to make compost and improve
the soil. In fact even in desert, it's possible to still improve the soil
and make compost. It's just a lot harder than in temperate zones.
