I am new to vermicomposting.

I am new to this forum and vermicomposting. My indoor bin's bedding consist of peat moss, horse manure and dried leaves at a 3-2-1 ratio. My outdoor pit has peat moss and dried leaves at about a 3-2 ratio. It also has a couple of rabbits hanging above.

The outdoor pit is 3 foot wide by six foot long by 2.5 to 3 foot deep. Will this pit be able to keep the red worms alive through the next winter?

Any suggestions that anyone would give me would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I bought some "Dutch wigglers" at a bait store. Does anyone know the genus/species names? Are they the same as ENC or "Belgium redworms"? Are they composting worms?
Thanks
Mo

Your outdoor pits just need to be covered over ith straw bles or leaves and the worms should go deep to hybernate and lay capsules.
