Worms, rabbits, and guppies can collaborate to create a thriving garden ecosystem. The book explains how composting worms break down food scraps into nutrient-rich castings, while rabbits provide safe and cuddly companionship while producing cold manure for fertilization from garden and kitchen waste.
