compost cover pdf

I like having fun when I’m writing and this one I think shows that more than any of the other books. It’s written as a recipe book because composting starts in the kitchen with your left over food scraps and cardboard waste from packaging. There are eight recipes in all – from the fun and very basic soil in the bag to the more complicated Hot Californian Turnover. You’ll also find sections on using green manures and making comfrey liquid and new composting methods like Bokashi. Most gardeners will end up making a cool compost heap, which is the method developed at CAT. Its the easiest and a big chunk of the book explains how it works. Another popular favourite is a wormery, which also gets quite a lot of pages too.

It’s a lovely little book. Everyone should be encouraged to get this book. If you want to make compost you couldn’t have a better book to help you.
