Product Description

Compost

The no-nonsense, well-presented information will inspire those new
to making compost to have a go and realise what a rewarding task this is
for the gardener


Product Description

Clare Foster demystifies the art of composting. She covers everything from building a compost box to selecting the best ingredients; from choosing the ideal accelerator to maintaining the optimum conditions for decomposition; and from household and garden rubbish to the best soil improver around. By taking some dead leaves, grass cuttings and old banana skins and enlisting the help of bacteria, insects and nature, you can improve and enrich your soil, feed your plants and nourish your vegetables, restoring the natural balance of life in your garden.

5.0 out of 5 stars Compost made easy, 15 Feb 2006
This book takes some of the fear out of making compost. A compost pile does not have to be a slimy pile of rotting vegetable matter at the bottom of your garden. It can be a thing of beauty, which restores order to your garden and also helps to cure some of the problems that build up over time in garden soil. Think of well made compost as being a bottle of natural antibiotics for Mother Nature.
This book is easy to understand and follow the guidance. There is no gobbledegook in it and all the science contained has been explained in a clear manner. There are diagrams to help you build various types of compost bins and wormeries so there is something for all gardeners who wish to start making their own “Black Gold”

5.0 out of 5 stars Compulsory reading for gardeners!!!, 16 Mar 2008
This an excellent and easy text to read. Don't expect lots of pretty pictures mind you. There are, however, a good amount of clear good quality diagrams to clarify info for you.
The books a nice friendly size for the garden shed too.
