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
there's 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 there's a handy guide to which bits of kitchen
waste you can put into your compost, and which you really
shouldn't. Finally, if you've 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.
