• Just started vermicomposting!!
  Excellent book for starting a vermicomposting project, I found the adequate climate specs for common composting species very useful. As well as the "bug visitor" information that will allow you to get an insight of the micro environment that you may decide to create for your invertebrate friends after reading this guide.
  Happy vermicomposting, cheers!!

  I used this book as second verification information on the best treating of my worm population. Has great advice and different ideas. I have a modular worm station and this book helped with worm advancement thru the stages of vermicomposting.

• Well written
  Really now... What is there to say about a worm book? Can it actually be INTERESTING? Well, this book held my attention well, taught me many things I did not know, did not burden me with super technical bunk that I do not need or want to know, and was a detailed, well rounded book on the topic.
  That said, I think the book was excellent.
  Of course, a more recent publication would be better (for instance: no mention of european nightcrawlers -- something rather recent on the American worm market)...... more info
