Book SynopsisWhether you garden on a small city lot or on a large country property, Composting for a New Generation covers everything you need to know to make great compost quickly. Composting is not just about
reducing food and yard waste; it’s also about
improving the health of your soiland the productivity of your garden. Compost is full of nutrients and beneficial microbes that help plants thrive, but store-bought compost is expensive and often comes packaged in non-recyclable plastic bags. Instead of running to the store to purchase compost,
learn how to make your own rich, earthy compost 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.
