SUCCESSFUL COMPOSTING

Although there are plenty of books written about how to make compost, few focus on preventing problems and providing advice on what to do when things don't quite go to plan.

In The Composting Troubleshooter, compost expert Dr Jane Gilbert explains the composting basics and sets out how you can compost effectively. By blending both art and science, the key components needed for successful composting are clearly explained and illustrated using easy-to-understand diagrams.

'The Composting Troubleshooter' provides an in-depth description of the different types of materials that can be composted, listing their key properties and things to keep an eye on. You'll also find out about materials that may cause you problems, or taint your compost.

TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEMS

Unlike other composting books, The Composting Troubleshooter, provides detailed advice on how to overcome a range of different composting problems. It is accompanied by a quick Look-Up Troubleshooter guide to help point you in the right direction.

The book also contains chapters on: alternative composting methods; putting your compost to work; health and safety; and useful resources.

By understanding the composting basics described in this book, you'll be empowered to make and use compost effectively. You'll also know what to do if things go off kilter. Both you and your garden will be able to reap the rewards.
