The Worm Farmer's Handbook: Mid- to Large-Scale Vermicomposting for Farms, Businesses, Municipalities, Schools, and Institutions

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.

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.

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.

Lots of great information about vermicomposting, worm farming. Well written

I enjoyed reading the book as a beginner in the vermicomposting area. I would recommend it to anyone interesting in this space.

The book has excellent information in an understandable writing style. The author incorporates research data and actual experiences in its content. If you are interested in vermicompost and raising worms for recycling food waste you will refer to it many times. The only negative content for me was a lot of information on personal travels to other countries and their methods and practices which are not practical here.

Informative and easy to read. Got me excited to start!

An excellent book. Tells you everything you need to know to get a medium to large worm farm established. Ms. Sherman also tells you what the pitfalls are, gives examples of worm farms that are well run. I would even recommend this book for those who just want to have a small operation due to the completeness of the manual. Can't recommend highly enough.

Based on previous reviews I decided on this book and I am definitely not disappointed. The is sufficient but not too much technical, scientific and practical information in an easy-to-read style. I recommend this book to both the new and the not so new worm farmer. Thankyou Rhonda you have probably saved me plenty of dollars and tears.

Too repetitive a little boring.

Excellent book with detailed explanations.
