Book Reviews of Worms Eat My Garbage: How to Set Up and Maintain a Worm Composting System
Book Review: THIS is the way to go!
Summary: 5 Stars
Can't recc this book enough. I had real problems composting. My organic matter didn't break down fast enough and it smelled. Now thanks to this little book my organic (and kitchen) waste breaks down 20X faster w/o chemicals or back breaking churning! The worms do it all. OH, my kitchen garbage doesn't smell because I toss all my organics into the compost bin. I never buy soil anymore.
My son loves to go on bug safari.
This book is great for teachers.
One tip. Follow her advice. Make sure to get the right worms, reds for breaking down, nightcrawlers for churning, in my case.
