Let It Rot!
Stu Campbell has written a comprehensive book on compost. He gives the scientific reasons behind good and bad compost piles without “piling” on details that are confusing to the lay reader. His guidelines for making compost are easy to follow and (speaking from experience) provide a surperior product.
Composting is the best way for the home gardener or organic farmer to augment his or her soil and it is easy using this book. Common myths to the contrary (compost piles don’t have to stink and in fact a bad smell is a bad sign…) composting is easy and even fun!
The Gardening Girl compost pile recycles vegetable scraps from her own kitchen and those of several friends, providing economical nutrition to the garden.
Whether you are an experienced conventional gardener making the switch to organic gardening or someone whose pile just isn’t right Let It Rot! will prove to be a handy guide for years to come.
