Review: Comprehensive and Extremely Practical - The Worm Farmer’s Handbook is an outstanding resource for anyone serious about vermicomposting on a larger scale. It’s well-written, thorough, and packed with practical information for farms, schools, municipalities, and businesses. I really appreciated the step-by-step guidance, real-world examples, and detailed explanations of how to set up and manage systems successfully. Whether you’re expanding a small worm operation or starting something big, this book gives you the knowledge and confidence to do it right. A must-read for anyone passionate about sustainability and soil health.
Review: A well of practical experience and knowledge underpinned by clarity of expression. - I chose this book because I needed a comprehensive understanding of worm farming. Rhonda Sherman's book turned out to be an excellent starting point. It builds upward from basics to a review of operating worm farm enterprises around the world. The briefs on how these worm farms started, their organisation, and how they addressed their challenges is very informative. Particularly memorable is how the various actors named their enterprises. The book provides gripping details of how the wriggly neighbours on our planet contribute to mankind's survival. This book is recommended reading for farmers, policy makers and all those keen to promote sustainable agriculture.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ By far the best book on worm farming I have read. Wish I had read this one first!
*by J***G on May 11, 2021*

I have read several books on worm farms. Most of them actually have very little real information, written by a worm farm hobbyist. All the real Information could have been written on a small pamphlet, but that does make money. Not this book! It is written by a true scientific expert! It packed fully of information that isn’t in any of the other books I have read! While she is writing for People who are professional large and medium scale farmers, I recommend it for anyone who is serious about farming worms and wants to really learn about it, even has a hobby there is too much good information in here to miss.
