Over night I lost all the worms in the 2 back worm farms. Still going strong in the light coloured farm though.
If you don’t think you have many worms in your farm….. wait until the become worm soup.
Thousands of them………
I haven’t lost worms like this since summer 1999…….

I’ve never lost worms to the heat. :(
I’m so sorry Lucky. I know how much you care for your worms and I know there is nothing you could have done.

:(:( If Lucky is losing worms, that’s how I know it’s REALLY hot. Lucky looks after worms so well I’m sure hers are the last to succumb.
Take care you lot over there – look after your gardens if you can, but more importantly keep yourselves and you friends/family safe and healthy.
Your lucky Bubba….. I feel awful for them… they would have suffered too.
Thanks BG, Bon & o40…….. its the 3rd hottest day on record…I think that is what they said last night on the news.
Sorry Lucky :(
Thanks Thee….
and poor val has lost her baby birds sob, mine are both staying inside till the heat wave is over, I have not even been game to walk down the back yard since I got home just after 1pm, shut shop too bloody hot
oh no :(
Aww sorry Lucky. I know how much you looked after them too.
I suppose we just have to know this sort of heat will happen yearly and do what we can.
The worms in the top layer in mine are dead, but theres still plenty in the 2nd tray.
The garden though… one huge mess. And same temps tomorrow will finish it right off.

I’m happy to report that my worms seem OK. I’ve given them more water and fed them. Thank goodness. The roses are beyond pot pourri now though. They will recover.

Geez hope you don’t loose all your worms…..
Still in the 40’s here next Tuesday…….. think Pa is going home to weather in the 30’s on Sunday.
Greetings one and all.
I thought I would have more time available when I was on holidays …. hmmmm.
Haven’t really caught up on the posts but am sorry to hear about your wormy losses. I will gladly send you some when the weather returns to some kind of normality. My tropical worms live in permanent shade in the carport but are definately used to warm weather. They are kept pretty moist and are thriving. I don’t have an unlimited supply but certainly hope to help.
Unfortunately not all of us live in the wetter parts of Australia.
Like I am currently in a predicted ten day period of 40+ as are many in southern Australia.. This is not uncommon for my town has consistently been a record holder in this regard of up to twenty one days and more of weather over 40.. but in the past we invented evaporative Air Coolers and refrigerated storage.. In the past we could turn on a sprinkler and sttand or sit under it.
These things appear to have changed. There is no more water for playing in.
Air conditioning and refrigeration .. like cars .. seem essential.. They are all running an A/C up and down my street as I speak. They would be dead or have to leave if they didn’t have one going. Howver.. it is things like air con and cars and fridges etc.. all add up to factors which are why.. we are without water.Crinkle said:

Hi Crinkle!
I should add that I too will be happy to share my worms about if they continue to survive :)

Thanks Crinkle, means a lot to me….with your offer. I still have a 3rd farm with worms. So once the heat wave is over with, I’ll transfer some across.
My goodness Lucky, this must have caught you by surprise…I know how much you care for your worms…two whole worm farms! what a shame…

Thanks Dinetta……. they might be worms, but the had a mum/dad and had feelings and worked hard for me.
Even some of my staff are talking about you Lucky1, not about your worms but how hot it is in Adelaide. They all know I come from there and some of them with teevs are watching the morning news each day and seeing how hot it is…

Wow! With Adelaide’s fairly low population increase, and its ageing community, what is the average amount of deaths on any given day?

How’s this for a quote from the Health Minister?
“But it’s probably people who were very ill anyway and the heat may have brought forward was going to happen.”
Goodonya!

Oh what a heartless insensitive minister , and a stupid thing to say. I bet he would have spoken differently if it were his eldery parent/s.

Huge power blackout across Melb, and youngest daughter just rang to tell me about how she and her co workers were stranded in a lift and had to be rescued.
And then her terrifying drive home ( to a friends) from work with all the traffic lights out. I’m glad I didn’t know about it at the time.
What utter bloody chaos.

I don’t get why a power grid can’t cope with two states both having a heatwave at once . And what we pay for power bills!
Many are stranded across Melb with trains at a standstill.

Interesting, my research suggests that in a population of 1.2 million, 22 deaths in a day is about normal… although for all of these Adelaide deaths to have been elderly people would suggest that the media hasn’t mentioned the other people who dies of motor vehicle accidents, infant mortality, or other causes. It would be interesting to see how many people in total died in Adelaide on this day…
Still poor form by the Minister.
