A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Composting is an excellent way to recycle kitchen and garden waste and to help your garden flourish. As Bob Flowerdew explains, any organic materials can be used, such as plant trimmings, vegetable cuttings, eggshells and teabags. He demonstrates just how easy it is to build your own compost bin and use the compost to help your garden grow. The composting process produces a dark, crumbly matter that can be used as fertiliser in garden soil. Bob explains each step of the process, from different recipes for creating organic compost, to the effects it has on different plants. This is a great guide for those wanting to start composting for the first time, and also packed with advice on utilising your existing compost heap. In 'Composting', one of an indispensable series, Bob answers all your queries in his usual practical, inventive and straightforward manner.
