Review: Christmas Present. - This was a Christmas present. Review: Composting science and art simply and accurately explained - I have been in the composting industry for 19 years providing assistance to every kind of composting facilities, from large regional ones to home composters. There is some good books out there, but none is as comprehensive and explains the science behind it in simple language while still being accurate, as this book does. While the main audience is small scale and backyard composting, this book is incredibly helpful for large facility operators too. I found very valuable that the author explains h difference between composting and other approaches such as bokashi and other gardening methods while also explaining how all of these approaches are compatible. I have sent a copy of the book as a thank you gift to some colleagues in the industry. I have been looking for something useful they will appreciate and this book is just the perfect gift! I know this will become their go to recommendation book.

Highly recommend. Easy to use with terrific photos
This is a gorgeous book! I have tried composting at various times over the years without much success. With this as my guide I am ready to try again. The book lays out instructions for multiple methods detailing everything you need for each including "recipes " for each kind and equipment needed. Detailed instructions for DIY composting bins and tools are illustrated with clear photos. It is well organized with helpful appendices. Surprisingly it is also an entertaining read (It is about compost after all) . You feel as if you're having an informative and entertaining chat with the author. Highly recommend. Easy to use with terrific photos!
