I've successfully overwintered by giving them a fresh feed, topping up bedding and putting some blankets on top, but having our neighbors' cats use it as a lounge chair probably helped. I've also heard of people doing it in larger piles by insulating then letting the pile heat up through the compost process; the worms will navigate the pile to regulate their own temperature.

Sorry I just started composting this year after gathering 20 42 gallon yard bags of dried oak leaves (Wildfire country and we get fined if we don’t have a defensible area around the house, otherwise I’d just let it naturally decompose). Figured I’d put some of it to use instead of just hauling it all to the dump. Gonna snag some pallets and some fine mesh soon and set something up.

I just throw greens and browns as available. And bunches of eggshells. When the soldier flies arrive, they'll sort it out.

In my experience, there's no way anything less than 25 liters is going to break down productively, at least not without a lot of outside help. It just won't be able to build/hold enough heat.

It just won't be able to build/hold enough heat. You mean like this 25 liters and over?  Aaand... Somebody was giving this away. Can you imagine? Giving away a plastic container used for holding waste? Some people can't see value.

Our city has a green bin program but I am interested in starting a worm bin to produce some extra nutrition for my patio garden. I'm in an apartment so winters will get very interesting though. I have my three buckets, just need to find drill bits because my DIY drill strategy of 'just spin a self tapering screw against it' was not very good.
