heat and bedding questions

20 years ago

2 questions-

1) got a heat wave. Gonna be 100 here tomorrow (I guess that most of the country has heat now). My bin is in the shed, which has partial shade- so assume that the shed will get to 100. Are my worms going to be OK? Just sluggish during the heat? I'm having a gnat issue right now, so don't want to bring them down cellar.

2) I have been using hay as bedding, with a little shredded cardboard. The bin's a few weeks along now. The worms seem to like it in the bottom of the hay where it's really wet. Does my bedding just not have enough water capacity? Should I run it through a hot- compost cycle to mush it up before adding to the bin?

Thanks,

-pH
