This is Pete Bogdanov's excellent seminar on Best Management 
Practices for Vermiculture. He has offered this seminar for the past 
several years and I have participated the last two. Pete has 
developed a 400+ page, comprehensive manual on aspects one must have 
at least some knowledge about to develop a successful vermiculture 
(growing worms) or vermicomposting (processing wastes and producing 
castings) business. Chapters include Composting Process and product, 
Biology and Ecology of Earthworms, Vermicomposting process and 
product, marketing, financing, site plans, operations, regulations 
and business plans. It's the best show around for getting good basic 
information about vermicomposting, as well as a chance to meet 
leaders in the industry. I'm sure castings and castings teas will be 
a hot topic this year, as they rightly should be.
