I'm sort of an experienced beginner, so I've had my composter for a while, but still learning of art of keeping a proper pile going. This book is perfect to go to when I run into a problem or question. I found the format really helpful, the way things were broken down. I like how short and easy to flip through it is. After skimming through it once, I've found myself going back to references it a number of times.
