The Compost Book

By David & Yvonne Taylor and Helen McCosker

How to make and use compost

Did you know that charcoal makes a great slow-release plant food? Or that yoghurt speeds up compost activity and that chamomile keeps your heap smelling sweet?

The authors divulge many more secrets of good compost-making in this book. Find out what else you can throw into your compost heap instead of into the garbage bin, and with this book, you will also find out the balance of nitrogen to carbon, acidity and temperature to maximise the potential of your pile.

Whatever size your backyard or balcony, this book will help you make a difference to your garden and the environment.
