It also guides gardeners through all the stages, from why one should compost, what one can compost, and how to build a simple heap to how to use compost, supplement compost with green manures, and retain water. Beautifully illustrated with step-by-step photographs and illustrations throughout, the pages are packed with practical advice and helpful information.
