Synopsis: From bin placement to vermicomposting, learn how to naturally recycle household waste—whether you live in the country, the suburbs, or the city. You don&’t need a science degree or a shed full of sophisticated equipment to make quality compost. What you need to get started is the know-how provided in this basic how-to book along a little elbow grease and the pile of organic materials you regularly throw away. Nature does the rest. Whether you live in a rural or urban home, whether you have a garden or not, you can recycle household waste in an environmentally friendly way and turn it into black gold: compost. You&’ll learn what and how to compost, how to make or buy bins, how to build a compost pile and make compost tea, and how to compost with worms. It&’s simple and easy to do, and the best part is that you&’ll be saving money and helping to save the earth as well.
