I have had worm beds a couple times and both times I lost them in the summer due to heat, Sacramento can hit over 110 (F) in the summer.

I am doing an outdoor system and have no sump and pumping straight from a fish pond so I imagine that I will get a fair amount of solids in my growbeds. The GB's will be draining directly back to the pond.

So my question is if the the worms are in the growbed and it is getting filled every 15 - 20 mins then draining out will the worms be cool enough to survive the summer heat?

would really like to have them in the GB to help with the solids.
