Mac, it seems most garden forums are pretty slow in winter, especially around the holidays. After Christmas, people start looking forward to their spring gardens and activity picks up.
It is possible to have hot compost in winter even in cold climates. Years ago when I belonged to GardenWeb I remember someone posting pictures of their compost steaming. It was in the far north, maybe Alaska? Anyway, if you have the fortitude to work at it in cold temps it can be done.
I've never done vermicomposting. My climate's not suited to it and, now that I'm retired, I have no more pets, and that includes worms.
Free to travel.
Karen
