About this title

Review:

Together with the benefits that well-made compost provides, the practice of compost-making becomes as fascinating as the practice of gardening itself. (Beth Chatto)

From the Publisher:

Compost by Clare Foster is one of those rare books that manage to be entertaining, fascinating and enlightening about a subject that doesn't normally inspire any such adjectives. From experience, Clare Foster knows that it isn't easy to produce great compost but once you have read this book, you will be armed with all the information you need to make the perfect heap. Recently nominated for the Garden Writers' Guild's Practical Book of the Year Award 2002, this is a must-have book for every potting shed shelf.
