I have recently purchase a few books about composting an this one it's a very nice one.
This book has everything you need to know in a very simple pictorial guide.
 Good - not very technical but technical enough July 1, 2008

This is a very helpful book to have at your side when composting and is simple enough for us that are just beginning to compost. I am a very science-y, down-to-the-nity-gritty-biology kind of guy so some of of it seems too simplified. That's why I didn't give the fifth star. But, all in all, it really is a good book and I like the spiral bound style that allows it to stay open while you are actually in the process of composting. I am now in search of a more detailed book about vermiculture (worm-poop ranching!)
Just what I needed! May 15, 2008

As simple as it gets! How to create compost, How to build a compost bin (or which to buy), What IS compost and how do you create successful piles. Great for someone on a budget. Step-by-steps are great and the content is easy to understand. I built one of the bins in the book in a few hours. Highly recommend this for those starting out.

I was teaching a class at the local library on Composting and the Librarian brought me this book to display. I was thrilled to see a book that was easy to read and understand for the novice composter. I find alot of people don't get this concept, how easy it is and the great benefits to the enviorment. This book has great pictures and is a quick review even for the old Masters. I display it at all my classes regardless of the subject and refer to it often. It's a MUST HAVE in my library.

This is the perfect book for the beginning composter. With plenty of pictures and easy step by step instructions this book teems with information. Purchased with "The Rodale Book of Composting: Easy Methods for Every Gardener" you have all you need for a great preliminary knowledge base on the subject. I highly recommend this book for those who are interested in getting started fast!
