@jamisonbrooks The worms will freez but the eggs will go into a state of
hibernation and should come back as temps, food and water return.

First time 2 pounds of red wigglers now five months old they have really
been tested this summer with the record temperatures. I kept them in my
garage until a week ago then I moved into the basement they like it much
better.

If you let it get too far below 32•f the worms will freeze to death

I put a thick layer wood shavings/bedding (like for hamsters) on mine just
yesterday. I hope it works. I also bought a 4’x8′ sheet of poly foam board
on top. They should be comfy through the winter.

I bought special blankets for my worms off ebay, promised that these little
mini-blankets would keep my worms from getting cold. (joking!) I’m gonna
have to try that russian tea you mentioned, only because i’m so interested
in the flavor.
