Critic Reviews

“"Mary Appelhof's prescription for saving the world -- in your own backyard. ... [My own worms] have proven to be surprisingly good pets: clean, industrious, self-sufficient, and always up for the job of devouring compost and enriching the soil." -- Amy Stewart, author of The Drunken Botanist "Mary Appelhof turned complicated science into understandable and usable advice. She's sculpted into my Mount Rushmore of the founders of the organic movement." -- Jeff Lowenfels, author of Teaming with Microbes: The Organic Gardener's Guide to the Soil Food Web”
