After founding and building the global engineering software company Moldflow, he turned his attention to soil biology, water management and nutrient-dense food to help people grow healthier produce.
I live in Phoenix, Arizona where the daily temperature can get to 115 degrees F (46 degrees C). I am considering transforming my above ground wicking beds to gbiota beds. The challenge I have is these temperatures are far too high to keep worms alive. Since worms are essential to the health of a gbiota bed do you have any suggestions on how to keep them alive?
