Overview

The ultimate concise composting manual, packed with practical tips and amusing anecdotes.

Everyone can compost, whether they have a garden or not. Although more and more people are buying compost bins, they don't always know how to use them properly or effectively. Most shop-based composts are made of peat but composting your waste will help to produce healthy plants of all shapes and sizes, and will also help the planet.

Composting for All tells you everything you need for successful home composting, including beginner's basics, how to mix material into a compost heap and worm farming. It also includes instructions on how to compost kitchen waste, community project ideas, and guidance on heating compost heaps for fast composting.

Leave the peat, and join the composting revolution with this handy little book!
