ABOUT THIS BOOK

USER REVIEWS

all you really need to know about composting is in this book

I just built my first compost bins and I refer to this book often. I built it out of pallets as I didn't want to invest any money at this time and then find out later I wasn't going to like it. It is working out great. I already have decomposing going on and the worms have moved in! (which is good!) It has only been about 2-3 weeks and I was surpised and happy to see some progress happening.

A great book for those without internet

This book is a solid primer on composting. It gives you everything you need to know to get composting. It is written well.

I can't say anything negative about this book, but I can say that with a few minutes of searching the internet you can find everything in the book for free. It does not have anything unique besides the author's style and delivery.

Well it turns out that the little booklet in the composter I purchased would have served the info purpose that I needed so this was an unnecessary purchase-sorry editor.

Very techy

This was a good read for someone who hasn't had a compost in about 20 years. They book does get a bit technical, but that seems part of composting. It goes into detail about microbes and other conditions. I will keep the book around for a reference.

Great info for a first time composter

Bought this guide to see if composting was something I wanted to do, and if our yard was big enough to handle it. The guide gave some straightforward info about composting, and let me know that it's easy enough too do, so I've now started composting with a bin purchased from amazon, and it's going well so far. Great book and a very quick read.
