For the next growing season I want to 1) stop relying exclusively on store bought soil and 2) stop wasting all my food scraps. I've started looking into vermiculture (and in particular a multi-tray DIY-solution), and I am currently looking for some good resources (books, in-depth article or video series or online courses) that can help me learn, and I was hoping that people here would like to share some resources they have found to help them on their journey to become composting masters.

I don't only want to understand how to do this in practice, but also how any choices along the way impact soil quality and how to ensure I have soil of good quality for my home garden. So I appreciate any pointers to more general soil-related resources.

Oh, are they hard to keep alive?

What is the typical timeline for when you can start using the soil after starting the compost?

Maybe a year.

I don't know how difficult worm farm are, I've kept away from them.
