WHAT EARTHWORMS ARE DOING AT THIS TIME OF YEAR

Earthworms are hibernating because of the change in temperatures (- in Howick - Kwa-Zulu Natal Midlands it is very cold - early morning - during the night) and if they are not kept in a regulated temperature i.e. outside with nothing to protect them then insulate with: -

• an extention cord and an electric blanket (if you can afford to have a higher electricity bill from Eskom)
• cover them with old towels, carpets, cardboard (all scroungable from your local carpet installer/supermarket)
• put them inside a garage, shed, laundry where the temperature is more regulated
• or take them inside and put them near the fire.......

Play them soft soothing music but keep them warmish, not fried!


Warmly worming
