While I’m not sure that I would try to keep worms alive in this planter system over the winter, I certainly don’t have too much trouble keeping them alive in various other outdoor systems (including windrows, which are quite similar to the lasagna (-ish) beds I am creating). It really just comes down to loading up the beds in the fall and making sure there is plenty of cover material over top. If you want to go the extra mile you could even add a tarp as well.

Anyway – thanks for the comment! I will aim to provide more information about cold weather prep once fall arrives (and of course will have other updates between now and then).
😎

I hope you will expand on your lasagna gardening with bringing red wigglers into that, again with what will you do over the winter.
I bought for the first time your red wiggler starter kit and l am happy to report things are going very well and l have tons more worms now. If there was a practical way to move them into my raised garden beds and leave them overwinter that would be ideal. I’m in the same zone as you. A garden full of red wiggles is my idea of heaven.
