and watch your garden thrive.

effective and efficient composting in layman's terms and includes
detailed information on tried-and-true composting methods right
along with new, innovative techniques. From traditional bin
composting (including step-by-step instructions for building your own
bin) and vermicomposting, to keyhole gardens and trench
composting, you'll close the cover with all the knowledge needed to
be an expert composter today. Plus, you'll learn how to use all that
"home cooked" compost successfully.
