Rating: Summary: A "Must" Book for Home Vermicomposters! Review: Mary Appelhof's book is both amusing and educational. This is the "Vermi Bible" for most people who compost their household waste with worms (vermicomposting).
This 2nd edition includes description and discussion on commercially-available vermicomposting bins. Unfortunately, with the excitement and growing interest in worm composting, there are bins now available that are not reviewed in the book. (I guess we'll need a 3rd Edition!)
For the beginner as well as the worm hobbyist, I recommend this book highly.

Rating: Summary: Wait! There's a Better One! Review: Anyone who is interested in this topic must read "Recycle With Earthworms: The Red Wiggler Connection" In my opinion it is a much better book than "Worms Eat My Garbage," but definitely does not get the recognition deserved! Check it out! It's awesome!

Worm composting is easier and neater than you think, and Mary Appelhof's enthusiasm is contagious. This a great idea for schoolkids: hands-on science, hands-on recycling with visible results.

Review: This book has taught me about what i need for my worm farm that im getting in a week or two....Only problem is there are almost absoloutly no wormdealers hereWell i rate this book a five because it explains the book clearly and doesnt have mumbojumbo throughout the book I read this book in one day i ate it up ...
Rating: Summary: Great Book for those with an interest in worms Review: This is an excellent book for anyone interested in lowering the ammount of garbage they send to the landfills. If you have an interest in raising more healthy plants, better fising bait, or just want the experience this is the book to start with. While written on a 10th grade reading level, this book is wonderful reading for anyone. My background is in biology and I found some of the side notes very useful. This is a book that everyone should read even if you have no desire to raise worms.
