I tried it and it has been very disappointing:

- the worms are very fragile, so they must no be too cold, too hot, having not enough food or too much of it or they die

- it supposed to be able to be inside, with no fly. But having no fly requires a very balanced PH, so if you mess up, you're gonna have a bad time

- it's slow. In the summer, I eat so much fresh vegetables and fruits the worms can't keep up.

Eventually I gave up.

The 2 setup that worked for me were:

- I'm in a flat, but the gov have a composting spot for the whole street. Common in Germany, very handy.

- I'm in a house with a garden, then I just have a big pile to compost things outside, no worms required. It's simple, no-maintenance, and handle up to 10 people green trash in the summer in the source of France.

have you tried putting the worm bins directly into the soil with the bottom cut out? It is a permaculture technique and i believe the soil keeps temperature relatively stable. I am in scotland and it never gets below -4 degrees celsius or above 25.

In this case, no need for worms.

The "wild" worms are the wrong type for this job.

No need for any worms. Just stack stuff on the soil.

There is nothing else to do, it works by itself.

We're also in germany and we're looking into this, how big is your household? was it too cold in your apartment during winter for them?

I tried the worms in tthe south of france, not germany. Outside was too cold in the winter but inside was ok.
