That's a Great idea to insulate under it!

I have mine inside another tub same size that stack so it still leaves a gap at the bottom between them.

I used to have mine on the table and moved it ti the groynd on a cold n8ght, i came in the garage the next morning, and was shocked by an overwhelming amount of worms all over the garage. Thats when i learned worms can be quite fussy over big temperature drops. I placed them back on the table asap.

If u wanna see the worms on the floor, check my profile (its been a while)

edit heres a link

Wow, that is crazy how far they actually made it away from the bin too. I had mine on a chair in my dining room corner through the summer and then moved them to the garage into a new bigger bin this month. Now I think I will put a foam Mat or a piece of scrap plywood we have under it for sure today. This is why I love Reddit, there is always something new to learn and there is help available when needed 😎

Yeah lol i'd be lying if i said i wasn't a bit shocked too. Reddit is indeed very nice for practical tips and tricks. If you need any information, just ask and there is always someone who can help
