Title: Composting for all
  FREE booklet
  Everyone can compost: whether they have a garden or not. And although more and more people are buying compost bins, they don't always know how to use them properly. Composting also means healthy growth for plants of all shapes and sizes. Why resort to shop-based composts usually made from peat? Leave the peat in the peatbogs where it's supposed to be and divert all the lovely compostable material away from landfill sites. This 32 page booklet tells you everything you need for successful home composting including: Beginner's basics How to mix material into a compost heap Worm farming Composting kitchen waste Community projects Heating the heap for fast composting
