What is a Red Wiggler? (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781481862424)

Nancy Warner is the creator of The Worm Ladies of Charlestown, Inc. that is all about composting with red wiggler worms (vermicomposting). This book introduces young children to composting and recycling using the red wiggler worm. Nancy's granddaughter Megan shows how to make your own red wiggler worm bin and how to harvest the castings (worm poop). Nancy's son Eric, a marine biologist in Washington State, does the photos for the book as well as renderings of the worm's insides. Nancy has been using the red wigglers for composting for 22 years and loves using the worm castings for her gardens. She has bachelor and master degrees in art education. Raising angora rabbits and dealing with too many flies surrounding the rabbit manure led to purchasing her first 3000 red wigglers.
