Everything you ever wanted to know about vermicomposting June 2, 1997 5 out of 6 found this review helpful
The title says it all--this is an everything you need to know sort of book. 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. Havi Hoffman
Recycling to the Max June 9, 2007 drabino (Los Angeles, CA USA) 5 out of 7 found this review helpful
More and more people are developing an interest in non-toxic methods of horticulture and agriculture. Not only that, but the limitations of landfills, the expense of fossil fuels, and the growing body of evidence showing a relationship between human activity and global warming is leading us to consider the wisdom of recycling. Everything. So here we are with a natural, inexpensive method of enriching our soil, and making it disease and pest resistant. This book is a great introduction to the topic of vermiculture. It may take a while before you actually get up the courage to do it, because the book does not adequately dramatize and address the fears and revulsions most people have to rotting, decomposition, and the like. But still, it's a good book.
Good Instructions July 4, 2007 J. Dunkle (Fresno, CA) 5 out of 7 found this review helpful
This book had very compete instructions on the worm composting system. In fact, it was so good, that after reading it, I decided that the amount of care they would need was more than I wanted to take on.
