| Howdy Folks/Greetings, earthlings! We can’t be the only ones genuinely fascinated with the residents of the worm farms and or the compost piles. It’s the very essence of why l became so enthusiastic with worm farming and composting in the first place over that of the more traditional gardening experience and rewards that offers. The one thing l noticed when l started researching worms and compost critters was the lack of the actual specific ‘worm’ images there was, and l figured, well, maybe that is something that worm fanciers like myself might appreciate seeing more of. By taking these close-ups and macro shots of the worms, l came up with the idea of the Earthen Wurmin brand. These galleries display to the reader the true inner beauty of earthwormery. Hundreds of photographs of the wormeries and the residents every month are taken, but only the best ones are displayed here. The Autistic Composter/Earthen Wurmin *** I hope you enjoy them as much as we do. |

| Earthen Wurmin’s Worm Facts & Quotes It is essential to keep a steady temperature on your worm farm as earthworms are a cold-blooded species meaning they cannot regulate their body temperature. |

What do earth worms do when it gets really cold out?

Good question Suzanne and one l shall answer soon in detail next week.
But pending the actual temperature outside their environments they either go into a form of hibernation or keep on chomping just at a slower rate.
They are still pretty good to around the 12/13 degrees celsius, but problems arise at much lower levels.

I’ll look forward to the more detailed answer but thank you for this one.
It makes me wonder how my earth worms did last year when it got arctic here.
Thank you ☺️

You are very welcome Suzanne. They would do okay as long as they were deep enough or their cocconed eggs would survive the temps till it warmed again.

You really do have quite a variety. All shapes, sizes and colors… too bad humans can’t get along like your worms do.

So the secret then is to ………….. cover ourselves with mucus, cram ourselves into a ball of said mucus and have a free fall of skin on skin .. strangely that has an incy of appeal – or is that just me? 🙂
