Worms Eat My Garbage by Mary Appelhof
First edition, Flower Press, 1982
From Wikipedia:
Worms Eat My Garbage: How to Set Up & Maintain a Worm Composting System is a book by Mary Appelhof self-published in 1982 under the company name Flower Press. The book is still held as seminal reading in the field of vermicomposting.
The cover illustration and possibly also the cover design is by Mary Frances Fenton. Octopuss was apparently chosen for its vermicular qualities.
Worms Eat Our Garbage: Classroom Activities for a Better Environment is a sequel published in 1993. The cover art is largely the same, with adjusted colors. ITC Avant Garde Gothic was substituted by ITC Benguiat Gothic for secondary text.
The second, completely revised edition was published in 1997, “after 100,000 copies sold”.
