Book Reviews of Worms Eat My Garbage: How to Set Up and Maintain a Worm Composting System
Book Review: Very educational!
Summary: 5 Stars
What a wonderfully informative little book! We were very interested in vermicomposting, but also very intimidated...with two kids who ADORE worms, the last thing we wanted was to mess it up and end up with a bin full of dead ones! But this book answered all of our questions and made setting up our worm bin very easy!
The illustrations are especially helpful to me, as I am a visual learner. I like the conversational style in which it was written--I kind of felt like I was just chatting with the author.
This book has everything from setting up your bin to understanding worm anatomy and mating, to taking good care of your worms...after reading it we felt very comfortable ordering our worms online and diving into vermicomposting.
My stepkids LOVE our worm farm and they happily brag about it to everyone they know! We have scraps for the worms on a regular basis and the kids love seeing how quickly the worms eat everything. We keep ours in a closet indoors and have NEVER had any problems with odor or flies/pests. Whenever I go in that closet I smell a delightful "earthy" smell. Exactly what it should be!
If you're at all thinking about vermicomposting, this is the book for you!
