Fun and Informative! January 1, 2008

This book is an easy, entertaining, read.
It has great information about what to compost, why compost and describes various types of composters along with their benefits and drawbacks. It also offers great practical advice on improving your soil, where to find compostable materials, and where to locate your composter. This is a good choice for beginners and those who just want to learn more about composting, I would highly recommend this book.

I very much enjoyed this book because it laid out the basics for the beginner, explained a small bit of the science, gave the list of do's and don'ts, and didn't get too technical for me. I really wanted to begin composting and had no idea where to start because there were so many options. This book helped me decide which was the best of the choices for my lifestyle, yard size, and abilities. Well worth it for the beginner looking for information.

Sadly, composting has a bit of a bad reputation some places. Many people imagine that you have to wear Birkenstocks and take part in anti-globalization marches, grow your facial hair and bathe infrequently to compost. Nothing could be farther from the truth!
According to most gardeing experts, amending one's soil is just about the most important thing one can do to ensure the health and beauty of a garden. Composting can be an inexpensive, quick and simple way to improve the soil, and it cuts down on the waste taken off to garbage dumps.
Let it Rot! Gives clear, well-written help on understanding how composting works, how you can set up your own composting system, and pitfalls to avoid. After you follow the instructions and see your garden blossom as never before, you'll understand: You don't need to be a hippy to compost your scraps!
