This is my second review of a Jack Pollard Gardening book which deals with the rare Red Worm, which, according to the Author is the only one worth considering for composting activity. This book covers all the basics of worm composting such as worm husbandry, worm residences, worm handling, worm purchase and of course what to do with your finished compost product when it becomes available. I was in fits when I discovered that you can purchase worms by weight from the Amazon website!An excellent beginners guide with several useful links to not only the Author's own Worms-on-the-Web website (my words!) but also to the innovative Worm 360 designer Worm Cottage that is probably as good a place as any for the worm composting novice to commence his or maybe her Worm Composting education.Of particular interest to gardeners is Jack's Garden Store page on Amazon with books, and all manner of garden requisites.As a Wormsman of some standing with Brandlings, which seem to like grass cuttings to frolic in, but with little knowledge of the red worm variety, I like this book for its comprehensive encouragement and factual instructions.Obviously this author is passionate about all things in the garden (particularly those that wriggle) and does a good job of covering the necessary steps for the aspiring Wormpreneur.Again I have to say that the layout with regard to formatting needs improving, as does some of the spelling and sentence construction. The table of contents is a nightmare to wade through. A little bit more time spent in making the reader experience more enjoyable would improve this book no end. Oh yes I almost forgot ...there is a section on making a worm/compost separator with a handy diagram for the skilled D.I.Yer
