Subtitled How to Set Up and Maintain a Worm Composting System, this book is a classic — and it’s one I got not long after it came out. We were llama ranching in the mountains near Ashland, Oregon, in those days, and living in two old 8×40 trailers we had parked in a V, creating a large enclosed south-facing living room between them.
I set up my worm bins in the unused and minimally heated second kitchen. My teenager thought it was gross, and my husband was dubious, but it did work! I’ve lived in a lot of different places since then and haven’t used my old copy of Worms Eat My Garbage la
tely, but think I will soon. — Zana

Worms Eat My Garbage: How to Set Up and Maintain a Worm Composting System
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.

Anyone who is interested in this topic must read “Recycle With Earthworms: The Red Wiggler Connection”
In my opinion it is a much better book than “Worms Eat My Garbage,” but definitely does not get the recognition deserved!
Check it out! It’s awesome!
