In No-Waste Composting, you'll discover the hows and whys of
composting and find over a dozen practical step-by-step plans for
building both indoor and outdoor composting systems that require a
minimal amount of space.
"I don't have enough space to compost."
"I don't know what's safe to compost and what isn't."
"I live in the city, so I don't think I can compost."
"Indoor composting systems are smelly."
"I don't have a garden, so I don't need to compost."
If any of these is your excuse for not composting, then this is the book
for you! Small-space composting has never been easier, more efficient,
and more eco-friendly. Composting keeps millions of tons of waste out
of landfills and creates carbon-sequestering, nutrient-dense compost
that can be used to help fuel plant growth (including houseplants!)
and build soil health.
