A full-color guide for both beginners and experienced composters, with an A-Z reference section

Composting is fun, easy and very satisfying! You can make compost even if you live in an apartment or don't have access to a garden. There are lots of good reasons to make compost:

• A third to two-thirds of the average garbage can contents can be composted, so you can lighten your bin--and stop it smelling.
• Less organic material is sent to landfill, so less noxious liquids and greenhouse gases--especially methane--are produced.
• Composting saves you money--you won't need to buy any more peat-based compost!

This book will give you all the information you need for successful composting.
