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
• how to foster a thriving “worm herd.”
