 Great guide for beginners December 20, 2008
I was very pleased with the wealth of information provided in this book. It is proving invaluable, as this is the first time I've ever attempted vermiculture.
 worms eat her garbage November 18, 2008
This book is very detailed about vermicomposting, in fact, if there is nothing you would rather do than extoll the virtues of worms..this is the book for you. It is informative and useful, but maybe a little long for those who just want to be greener and reduce waste.
 Good read September 10, 2008
This book explains alot since I am new to worm gardening. A good refrence book.
Easy to read and follow - a must for everyone July 7, 2008
Great little book that covers it all in an easy to read format. Explains the process and how to accomplish your own vermiculture products at home and at the same time reduce the amount of waste going to the dumps. It's an easy to learn win win situation.
Informative book May 31, 2008
Very good intro book on the worming composting process. My worms are happy and doing well. Very informative. We use the square worm tower with the 5 levels. We are working on the first one right now. Very easy was to compost and there is no smell.
*** update it is now Nov 1st and my worms are still doing very well. Worm composting has been very easy. I am in search of the perfect scraps container though. Right now I just use a plastic bowl with lid. The amount of worms I have has doubled if not tripled from May to Nov.
