Keeping your worms snug through winter!

As the winter approaches and the chill sets in, it’s time to think about how to best protect your worms through the colder months.

The Tiger worms we supply do still work through the cold weather, but their metabolic rate does slow down – and the cold makes the food waste a bit more difficult for them to get through.

Keeping your Wormery just that little bit warmer makes a difference and a few extra degrees will certainly improve the worms’ efficiency. There are a few things you can do to help with this. One of them is trying to locate the Wormery adjacent to the outer wall of a heated home – it’s surprising the difference in temperature there. Or perhaps bringing the Wormery indoors – if not in your house, how about a garage, outhouse, shed or garage? Another good idea is snugly-fitting some insulation around the outer shell of the Wormery.

An old duvet covered in a large plastic bag or some bubble-wrap or old carpet around the bin will certainly help, but for our unique range of Wormeries we do manufacture a more attractive solution in the form of purpose-made insulating jacket which is designed specifically to fit snugly – to give the worms maximum insulation. You can use it through the winter months year after year to help keep the worms happier and warmer through the cold.

And so you can benefit your pocket as well as the worms we’re currently offering a discount of 12.5% off the cost of our purpose-made jackets throughout November. As an extra special benefit, if you order by 20th November we’ll throw in an air-tight Kitchen Waste Caddy at no cost too!
