For the first time ever, I have a compost heap for my garden; nothing fancy, just a little pile that I hope come spring or summer will enhance my garden soil and give me a bumper crop of kitchen vegetables.The book gives concise advice on different methods of composting, and lists of what (and what not) to put into your compost. The well done photo illustrations are very helpful, and the tone of the book gives the reader a sense of confidence.I was definitely inspired to finally take my chances and begin composting about half of the stuff that was going into the regular trash. Everything you could ever ask or want to know about composting! Aside from the slightly too-cutesy names for the various composting methods ("Honey Hole"? Really?) this book is a wealth of information for the gardener just trying to start a composting practice. I really appreciated the fact that they covered many different methods and discussed when to use each one. I felt liberated after reading the book and a more free to just "try it and see what works", especially when armed with all the information I got.NOTE: This book is much more effective as a paper copy than in an e-reader format! There are many tables, boxes, and sidebars that will make the e-reader format difficult to navigate.
Compete is an understatement. Gardening has kindled my interest in biology.
