Worms Eat My Garbage Paperback - 1997

by Mary Appelhof; Mary F. Fenton (Illustrator)


From the publisher

A new edition of the definitive guide to vermicomposting--a process using redworms to recycle human food waste into nutrient-rich fertilizer for plants. Author Mary Appelhof provides complete illustrated instructions on setting up and maintaining small-scale worm composting systems. Internationally recognized as an authority on vermicomposting, Appelhof has worked with worms for over three decades. Topics include: bin types, worm species, reproduction, care and feeding of worms, harvesting, and how to make the finished product of potting soil.

First line

Some people use the term "home vermicomposting system" because it sounds more sophisticated than "worm bin."
