Item description
Learn how to make and use nourishing compost for your garden with this handy little guidebook from an experienced National Trust head gardener.
Learn how to make and use nourishing compost for your garden with this handy little guidebook from an experienced National Trust head gardener.
It's packed with useful tips for successful composting, from deciding what to put in your kitchen compost caddy to how to use the final product in your garden.
The author discusses the various composting set-ups you can choose, from simple plastic cone-shaped Dalek bins to ingenious hand-rotated barrels and elaborate solar-powered hot composting systems, and gives full instructions to make a professional-looking three-bay compost heap from old pallets. Also covered are unusual and innovative techniques such as keyhole gardening and lasagne planting, and theres a guide to wormeries and, for the very adventurous, snaileries.
He also reveals the many uses to which compost can be put in your garden, and not just to grow plants in as a top dressing to keep your lawn looking fresh and green, as mulch for your flower beds, or, in liquid form, as a powerfully nutritious plant feed. And theres a handy guide to which bits of kitchen waste you can put into your compost, and which you really shouldnt. Finally, if youve always wanted an exceptionally environmentally friendly composting toilet, instructions are here.
Beautifully illustrated throughout, this practical guide contains all the advice you'll ever need to get your compost going and use it to help your garden thrive.

In 2002, World of Books was founded on an ethos to do good, protect the planet, and support charities by enabling more goods to be reused. Since then, we've grown into a global pioneer, dedicated to helping people read more and waste less.
Through the World of Books brand, customers can now buy and sell with us! We provide affordable, preloved books to book lovers all around the world, while also giving people the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet by trading in their unwanted books and media for cash.
Through the B2B side of our business we've developed technology to help charities sell in bulk, meaning they can clear much needed floor space and make money for great causes at the same time.
A new book will be sold once but their stories can be enjoyed by more than one owner. After all, a story doesn't change because it's been read before!Our Sustainable Work
