Synopsis

This basic primer takes all the guesswork out of worm composting. It shows readers how to take responsibility for the waste they create by turning food scraps into valuable nutrient-rich compost. Henry Owen demonstrates that worm composting is a year-round activity that is easy, fast, convenient, good for the earth, good for your plants, and fun. Topics include what type of worms to buy, how to construct a bin, how to maintain the right environment, and how to foster a thriving "worm herd". The sections on worm bin troubleshooting and FAQs cover everything else you need to know.
