Hey,
I was just wondering where everyone is coming from.
I am located in Eastern Indiana about 30 minutes from the Ohio border.

lol Jay too cold. Im from winterpeg aka winnipeg manitoba canada. Just dusting out my igloo . I'm comfortable down to 60 degrees F / 15 C. and most productive and feel my best in the mid 70s F / 25 C up to 90 F / 33 C. temp range.  I just saw my comfortable temperature zone. No wonder raising worms is a pleasurable past time for me  Unfortunately I lost the camper I used for our gulf coast migrations while left at a friends campground property on the coast during a hurricane. Being a cheap 1980s model 22 footer and only having $780 invested in it, I just accepted the loss. After the current hurricane clean up is finished, I may try to buy a surplus camper from one of the local construction companies to resume my winter migrations if I can get one cheap enough. |

It is a little warmer over here in Texas, ain't it...LOL Jay, you should file your loss with FEMA. They are paying for storm damage over here. |

FEMA??? Ain't that government speak for "Stand in line and wait" Even if we had another camper now, the coastal regions I preferred to winter in are either still deep in reconstruction or saturated with relocated evacuees. On a recent trip into Beaumont I saw many unhappy relocated folks wanting to go back to their home states and also many , while choosing to remain in their relocation areas weren't too happy also. The negativity seemed to be showing in the attitudes of some of the local folks also. I just figure it better to wait it out awhile before resuming my vacation runs . Give the areas time to recover and get back to more of a normal environment. By then, rough campers as I had will be in surplus quantities again also. This old country boy can sit tight where I am for in a year or two. |

Whew!
I just got back from my hometown in Michigan and boy do they have some snow! It snowed non-stop the whole weekend! My family was happy but they like to get on the Snowmobiles. We got another light dusting of snow today in Indiana but it probably won't stay long. Or so I hope. The only thing I miss about snow is the snowball fights at the family gathering for Christmas and well I will be there this year so I can't wait for that.

Psssst!
Don't tell anybody, but I am the new comer to the board. I live in central UTAH.
We experience all 4 seasons here, some of them lasting longer than desired.
In my villiage of 65,000 people, we have tempertures from 100's in summer to
the below 0 freezings in winter. But there is a great growing season from mid
March to October. I would love to become one of those "Snow Birds" that fly
south for the winter only to return when the snow melts. I really do love UTAH,
been here since 1979, California before that. So, I guess I have to confess:
I am a true blue Westerner

4wigglers,
Welcome to The Worms Turn. Hope you find us informative and helpful.
I don't recall having contact with Utah worm growers before, but I do utilize gardening techniques developed by a gentleman from Eden Utah.
As you share more detail with us regarding your temperate zone conditions, I am sure our small group here can help you develop a suitable technique for your worm farming.
Jay

Thanx for the encouragment! I have been involved in the meat/livestock production and marketing industries most of my life and am so excited to see what I can do with worms.
Is the Utah guy Larry Sagers from Utah State University?
I really respect his knowledge and experience.
Thanx for your work with this board and in assisting all who need it.
