A full-color guide for both beginners and experienced composters, with an A to Z reference section
Composting is fun, easy and very satisfying! You can make compost even if you live in an apartment or don’t have access to a garden. There are lots of good reasons to make compost:
* A third to two-thirds of the average garbage can contents can be composted, so you can lighten your bin ? and stop it smelling. * Less organic material is sent to landfill, so less noxious liquids and greenhouse gases ? especially methane ? are produced. * Composting saves you money ? you won’t need to buy any more peat-based compost!
Everything you need to know about composting, from the different containers available, to what to put in them, to how to use the results. Includes an A-Z directory of how to compost everything from ash to weeds; plus expert advice on how to compost in small spaces, bins, and wormeries, and getting your community involved.
