About this book

**From the back cover of this book:**

Mary Applehof resides in the Kalamazoo,Michigan area where a healthy crop of worms feeds on her garbage. As owner of Flowerfield Enterprises, she has dedicated the past ten years to researching, developing, and marketing products and services related to the conversion of organic materials via earthworms. In 1980 Appelhof coordinated a major research workshop held in Kalamazoo on the role of earthworms in stabilizing residues. Proceedings from the workshop were subsequently compiled by her and published under her supervision.

A skilled photographer, she holds master's degrees in education and biological sciences. Membership in organizations which emphasize conservation of the earth's resources includes the National Recycling Coalition, which she serves as a director, and Organic Growers of Michigan.

An enjoyable readable, realistically described account of how you can convince earthworms to process your garbage for your benefit. ~ H. Lewis Batts, Jr., Ph.D. Executive Director, Kalamazoo Nature Center

Recycling is good ecology good economics. This guide shows personal commitment to a better use of the waste we generate. A commitment to fewer landfills, more appropriate use of energy and the return to a more independent, yet socially responsible system of waste disposal. ~Mary Brown, State Representative, Michigan Legislature

This expertly written, practical and educational manual is a must for every home.
