Book Reviews of Worms Eat My Garbage: How to Set Up and Maintain a Worm Composting System
Book Review: A complete no nonsense, starters guide.
Summary: 5 Stars
I downloaded a vast amount of information from the internet on setting up and maintaining a home worm recycling and vermicomposting bin that it became all to complicating for me. Mary Applehof's book was recommended by a commercial worm grower and is a complete no nonsense guide with everything in it to start off and maintain a bin. Easy to read and understand for anyone wanting to get into home composting and recycling. It does not have lots of pictures which is a must normally for me, but it didn't matter as the book is written so simply that I did not need them to understand what it is she is explaining. Keeping worms who will eat your leftovers is very involved and not simply a matter of throwing a handful of garden worms (which are not the type of worms used in one)into a bin as lots of factors are involved in its success. I also realised that setting one up could be very simple and cheap enabling me to make it myself with just a plastic box, shredded newspapaper and of course the worms, no great outlay was needed in the commercially available bins. I read the book and could not wait to get my bin up and running. Once I did, it has been very successful so far and I could never have achieved it without Mary Applehof's book.
