The Ultimate Guide

How to Make and Use Compost by Nicky Scott, is a new comprehensive guide to composting. Whether readers live in a flat with a balcony, or have a family and garden that generate substantial amounts of food and green waste, this book explains it all and makes it easy.

For more than 40 years, Nicky Scott has been fascinated by the composting process and all its uses. A co-ordinator of the Devon Community Composting Network, he has advised schools, groups and businesses on how to transform their kitchen leftovers into gardeners’ gold.

Part one of the book describes how the process works. It includes what can and cannot be composted, explains different techniques, uses and systems, lists some of the common problems and provides solutions. The second part offers a useful A-Z composting guide and the third section advises on larger scale projectsóparticularly relevant to schools. Finally, the author includes a comprehensive list of other publications, organisations and places to buy equipment. Whatever the project, How to Make and Use Compost will help everyone work wonders with waste.
