keep the bin indoors?

i live in Hawaii on a daily basis it gets high 80's even 90's at times my worms for the past 2 weeks have been doing great had problems just like you but fixed them. i still am not getting cocoons i think my worms are still too young for that even though they have clitellums already i know they are not fully grown.

i keep my bin indoors i got idk maybe 50-100 worms they seem to be doing great. indoors no problems the only problem is space. cannot really keep them outdoors either we have little to no shade at my house.

i am using a cooler for my bin the biggest problem i had was air flow. their was the styrafoam padding for insulation at the top and a piece of metal i had to remove both of these and once done my worms got more air and were doing better then ever. next i plan on using a 55gallon drum and cutting it in half since it has no lid on one end then forming together and gluing together into 1 long bing that shallow yet a lot of surface area and raise worms in their

I think the best way to have them inside would be a closed bag such as a worm inn. That way they're all zipped up and any other critters can't get out either.

I have seen several systems where they have the bins submerged in the ground with a sheet of plywood over the top. Would you be able to bury a bottomless wooden box to act as a worm bin? A note of caution was also included in where I saw this idea - he was in the desert and has found snakes and venomous spiders in his bins when opening them so always open the lid so the lid is between you and the bin. If buried in a full shade area it will be substantially cooler, well more moderated in temp, than sitting above ground.
