Product Description

Product Description

Composting is an excellent way to recycle kitchen and garden waste and to help your garden flourish. As Bob Flowerdew explains, any organic materials can be used, such as plant trimmings, vegetable cuttings, eggshells and teabags. He demonstrates just how easy it is to build your own compost bin and use the compost to help your garden grow. The composting process produces a dark, crumbly matter that can be used as fertiliser in garden soil. Bob explains each step of the process, from different recipes for creating organic compost, to the effects it has on different plants. This is a great guide for those wanting to start composting for the first time, and also packed with advice on utilising your existing compost heap. In 'Composting', one of an indispensable series, Bob answers all your queries in his usual practical, inventive and straightforward manner.

I'VE HAVE BEEN A KEEN GARDENER FOR MANY YEARS.MY GRANDFATHER TAUGHT ME THE BASICS ON HIS ALLOTMENT IN THE EAST END OF LONDON. WHEN READING THIS BOOK IT WAS GOOD TO SEE MANY OF THE OLD METHODS HAD BEEN RETAINED AND NEW METHODS INTRODUCED ALONG SIDE. I HAVE 2 ALLOTMENTS AND I'M VERY BUSY INTRODUCING THE METHODS OF COMPOSTING ON BOTH. BEING NEWLY RETIRED THIS HAS HELPED ME COME TO TERMS WITH RETIREMENT AFTER 51 YEARS OF CONTINUOUS WORK. MY ALLOTMENTS ARE MY NEW FOCUS, AND THE BOOK HAS HELPED ME TO UPDATE MY KNOWLEDGE.
