excellent for beginners

Earlier this summer I developed an interest in gardening, and especially the at-home composting. I found that this book was recommended to me more than any other. I picked it up at my local library and was surprised at how thorough it was. After all, who knew that there were so many methods to composting? This book helped me to quickly and easily set up my first compost pile, which is coming along great. It even has tips for indoor composters!

This book is like having a neighbor show us how to compost.

How do we demystify the simple act of home composting? This easy to read book is the next best thing to having a helpful neighbor show us how to compost. During my past 10 years as a compost evangelist, I have conducted home composting workshops for thousands of people. Backyard Composting is often distributed by sponsoring agencies for public education and included with the purchase of a compost bin. I like the way this book combines basic how-to's and a holistic perspective of how compost fits in to the notion of sustainability, recycling, and permaculture.
