At long last, our new vermiculture book will be available this Thursday!

"Vermiculture Technology: Earthworms, Organic Wastes, and Environmental 
Management" is a 35-chapter book edited by Clive Edwards, Norman 
Arancon, and Rhonda Sherman.  Contributing authors are from Australia, 
Belarus, Brazil, Canada, China, Cuba, Hong Kong, India, Mexico, 
Philippines, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom, and the United States.

The book explores the dramatic growth and changes in vermiculture 
technology since 1988.  The contributors discuss outdoor and indoor 
windrows, container systems, wedge systems, and low labor-requirement, 
fully-automated continuous flow vermicomposting reactor systems that can 
process more than 1,000 tons of organic waste per reactor per annum. 
They also highlight the science and biology behind the use and efficacy 
of vermicomposting, examine its importance to developing countries, and 
detail the technology of the past, present, and future.  This volume 
chronicles how vermiculture can be brought into full commercial and 
industrial development and find application in integrate waste 
management systems.

Open the attached flyer to see details about the book and how to order 
it.  The flyer has a 20% coupon attached that is valid until the end of 
December.

All the best,
