Compost (Rodale Organic Gardening Basics)
The Editors of Organic Gardening Magazine
Designed to provide beginning gardeners with everything they need to know about organic methods, the Organic Gardening Basics series organizes the best information from six decades of Organic Gardening magazine into convenient and accessible single-topic volumes. Each guide contains a fully illustrated calendar that takes readers through each process day-by-day and allows them to chart their progress. While the main purpose of this series is to teach the basics, the last chapter of each volume goes a step further, giving readers more creative and challenging alternatives. Each region is covered in detail, making Organic Gardening Basics perfect for novice gardeners across the country.
Compost is the foundation on which every successful organic garden is built. This beginner's guide includes clear, concise instructions on how to build a compost pile and how to use compost, a discussion of why compost is so integral to organic gardening, information on regional compost-making materials, and a month-by-month compost care calendar. Written in layperson's terms, it reduces compost-making to simple tips and techniques that are unintimidating and easy to follow.
