Create your own vegetable garden and worm farm.
Firstly – IT’S NOT HARD! There’s no need to make either endeavour difficult or overwhelming. Worm-farming and vegetable gardening are easy when you know what your doing, and complement each other perfectly!
If you have the right information, common sense and a desire to create then you will find vegetable gardening and worm-farming a pleasure and a fulfilling past time. After many attempts, successes and failures I decided to write down what I have learnt.
My name is Katharine Northey and I’m a horticulturist by trade. I have spent the last 11 years in this industry learning something new each day. I dare not claim to know everything – it’s impossible in horticulture, and naive to claim so… But, I have learnt some valuable truths within nature.

When I first started trying to set up and maintain a worm farm and vegetable patch I found it hard to find a lot of useful information in just one book. I trawled the libraries (yes I’m over 30…), the internet sites, picked the brains of local nursery staff and patrons of farmers markets. Even my grandparent’s friends were getting sick of me.., forever trying to find out how things worked.
I finally now feel I have enough of the answers to warrant writing them down and creating the books I so desperately needed in the beginning.
My two books – Worm Farming for Beginners, and Vegetable Gardening for Beginners, will equip you with the relevant information you need to Start your own WORM FARM and VEGETABLE GARDEN TODAY!
Take a look at the contents page and back covers of each book to see if they will answer the questions that you have been asking…
Happy, successful gardening!
