hello to all first of all. I am in Colorado and it gets quite cold here in the winter. I ordered my worms today and they will be here sometime next week. I ordered 3 lbs of the red wigglers but i need to make them a bin. I have tons of non treated 3/4 in plywood i would like to make my bins with. I have a 17' x 35' garage but its not heated in the winter. How can i keep the box warm on the long weeks of winter we have here in Colorado? Also, wondering about building the box. i am thinking 4' x 8' feet for the bottom and 2' side walls. my question is, when drilling vent holes. Do i drill holes in the bottom and cover the holes with wire, if so, how large of wire, 1/4" or smaller? What will keep them from crawling out the holes? Should i put a divider at 4' length of 8' box?
I am sorry for all the ?'s but would rather ask than not ask as i want to build a nice home for my worms.
