(You might want to paint something like “Dog Waste Composter” across the lid.) Remember placement of your worn bin is key. Place in a shaded area that is protected from extreme temperatures. The optimal temperature for a wormery is between 13°C to 25°C (55°F to 77°F). However, worms can live quite happily in temperatures ranging between 4°C to 26°C (40°F to 80°F). If you live in an area with harsh winter temperatures you may want to consider moving your wormery inside, such as a garage or somewhere that doesn’t get too cold. A thermometer can help you keep your worms at a safe temperature.

It also notes that the grounds could “overwhelm your plants, get moldy or attract hungry critters” if not composted before adding to soil, and adds that “most households make more Food Grounds than gardens can handle”.
