So your problem is…What to do with the worms in the winter? Well make a homemade bin for them and keep them inside for the cold months. Feed them your table scraps, papers and junk mail. As for the dog poo. Cold winters provides excellent storage conditions for pet poo. Just keep doing whatever you plan to do with the waste until it melts in the spring time, maybe just have something simple, like a large trash can, or a rubbermaid tub. When the cold months are over thrown the worms back in the poo bin. Make sure your container is big enough to hold a winters worth of frozen dog poo and be aware that your pile might start to stink a bit in the spring if you don't get to it fast enough.

I know I am replying to a very old post, but I am very passionate about worms and this broke my heart. First of all, too many worms..means you are a excellant worm farmer!, This is not a problem!! If your red wigglers are mating, then you are doing something right!! Keep it up. Now just because you do not have a Fancy Dancy Worm Bin that cost a pretty penny when you grow out of the can -o-worms or another bin you paid for dont give up and act like it is a problem. Sure pass some to your neighbors if it is too much to handle. really, Come on…If you are vermicomposting then I am sure you are one that likes to use your resources. Use anything and everything for a worm bin…doesnt have to be fancy…When it comes down to it, the red worms do not really care if it is a bucket, box, or a dresser drawer. There is a blog I have ran across, that has some unquie ideas on making a worm farm with materials you probaly already own. Check it out and happy worm farming y’all!
