Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: worms eat her garbage Comment: 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. Customer Rating: Summary: Good read Comment: This book explains alot since I am new to worm gardening. A good refrence book. Customer Rating: Summary: Easy to read and follow - a must for everyone Comment: 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. Customer Rating: Summary: Informative book Comment: 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. Customer Rating: Summary: What a great starter book Comment: I was encouraged to buy this book when I was talking about starting a worm farm for the output from my juicer. It is a great over view then detail explanation of what to do to get off to a great start. The observations and insights gave me enough comfort to just start a bin rather than over thinking it. I created my own version of a bin system that is expandable using 50 plastic barrels. What a great and interesting topic. Dave More Reviews
