Description

For more than thirty-five years, this popular guide to vermicomposting has helped readers learn how to recycle food scraps into nutrient-rich fertilizer using worms. With small, self-contained worm bins that can be kept indoors, in a basement, or even under a kitchen sink, vermicomposting is an excellent option for city residents and those who don’t have space for an outdoor compost pile. This fully revised 35th anniversary edition retains the book’s original approachable style while offering updated guidance on every step of the process, from selecting or building a bin—readily available at garden supply stores—to caring for worms and harvesting finished compost.
