5.0 out of 5 stars Worms eat my garbage, 8 Jul 2003

By	"amazoncouk87" - See all my reviews

Summary: Well written, very enjoyable - the author loves the subject and it shows

WEMG is a a very educational/instructive/fun/... book about setting up a wormery to process kitchen (and garden waste).

It takes you through (un biased) reviews of the reasons to keep worms, where to keep them, what to keep them in and what to feed them.

It reviews both comerical and DIY equipment with easy to follow instructions.

It also shows the possibilities for educational use.

Although it sometimes dips into "scientific jargon", it is explained well and to a depth that is neither condescending or too lightweight.

All in all I rate this book highly

5.0 out of 5 stars A complete no nonsense, starters guide., 5 Jul 2003

By	Jayne Nicholls (Staffordshire, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

I downloaded a vast amount of information from the internet on setting up and maintaining a home worm recycling and vermicomposting bin that it became all to complicating for me. Mary Applehof's book was recommended by a commercial worm grower and is a complete no nonsense guide with everything in it to start off and maintain a bin. Easy to read and understand for anyone wanting to get into home composting and recycling. It does not have lots of pictures which is a must normally for me, but it didn't matter as the book is written so simply that I did not need them to understand what it is she is explaining. Keeping worms who will eat your leftovers is very involved and not simply a matter of throwing a handful of garden worms (which are not the type of worms used in one)into a bin as lots of factors are involved in its success. I also realised that setting one up could be very simple and cheap enabling me to make it myself with just a plastic box, shredded newspapaper and of course the worms, no great outlay was needed in the commercially available bins. I read the book and could not wait to get my bin up and running. Once I did, it has been very successful so far and I could never have achieved it without Mary Applehof's book.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best, 2 April 2006

By	G. Morris "cherrytreebluebell2" (England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

You may believe this or not; but I actually own quite a few books on vermiculture and enjoyed reading them all. Strange, well maybe. What I can do with this knowledge is pass some advice on to you - Buy this one first. All the basic information is here and it's all pretty basic really and then a lot more. Also very appealing are the details on how to make your own bins if you wish to save some money and save money you will. Buy the book and then buy some worms. Really, it's great.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good book (if you live in the USA)
This is a classic book on worm composting, it introduced a lot of people to the concept. Sadly however since the death of the author a few years ago it has become quite dated... Read more
