[Toni · Rating 5 out of 5]

She covers everything you need to know, including other bugs you might see in your worm bin (most are good, and should be there), and what kind of worms are best for a worm bin (using Latin names so you can get the right kind). She leaves no needed information out, from what I could see. She also has a chapters answering questions people might have about worms in general.

I skimmed, then skipped chapter 14 (How can I treat waste as a resource) because I was not reading the book to be preached at.

She has an appendix with a list of books in case you are interested in learning more. She also has a glossary in the back.

My book was 129 pages if you don't count the appendices or glossary. Easy to read, interesting, packed with information.

I love having a worm bin in my room. I am a graduate student and I have no troubles with it. Mine gets too moist too fast often, when I open the lid the worms are all along the edge unhappy with me. SO I just leave the lid open for a bit and it dries it out and the worms do not escape.

Leaving the lid open during the day while I am home, as long as all scraps are covered, there have been no issues with bugs or anything.

Not the latest edition, but by far the most charming cover, yes?
