The old ice cream brain freeze feeling, only it doesn't stop till you stop cycling...

I get by with a snood under my helmet pulled down to my eyebrows and another from below pulled up over my nose. But then I've not cycled in lower than -3C, I think.

Maybe you need a full face helmet and goggles? Money aside...

Can we not just get rid of the traffic instead?

Ice age? No. Western Europe will have cder winters and hotter summers.

Tried to grow them in our greenhouse and failed. (Scotland)

No idea where to buy them, just pointing they're quite hard to grow here.

Yeah, we move ours into our glass house over winter. I also made it an insulated jacket out of plasticky padded envelopes and duct tape 😀

It's come through temperatures of -7C that way. The worms will all go deep and huddle to stay warm.

I'm assuming a worm farm is what we call a wormery in Britain. The main thing about wormeries and bokashi is they can take cooked food waste, that's not usually advised for composting.

So in part I think it depends what your source material will be.

Our wormery can get a bit whiffy, though it's not noticeable until you take the lid off to put more stuff in. Still, not sure I'd want it inside. Bokashi seems designed for indoors.

Every couple of weeks during the summer, once a month over the winter. Used to do it weekly, but decided I should probably let it heat up more between turns.

I do it by getting a fork and properly turning and mixing it. Very physically demanding!

I only really have the one 800 litre bin though. I think the let it sit strategy works better when you have 2 or more, just layer well and let nature do the mixing!

Ours go into the recycling. Not sure what they get recycled into. Have a vague memory of them getting shredded and mixed with resin to make insulation boards.
