Using a scientific method to guide his gardening style, Master Gardener Pavlis (Soil Science for Gardeners) educates gardeners of all skill levels on the ins and outs of composting. In this informative book, the author defines compost and its benefits, debunks myths about it, and explains its phases. Pavlis also details the differences and pros and cons of each type—hot, cold, easy, vermicompost, bokashi, and eco-enzyme. The book also shows how these can be replicated indoors and outdoors. All the information is reinforced with diagrams, which makes this a great supplement for readers and collectors of Pavlis’s other works.
VERDICT A no-frills book that both newbies and experts will find useful when planning or replenishing their gardens.
