Description Composting For A New Generation by Michelle Balz
COMPOSTING FOR A NEW GENERATION by Michelle Balz, breaks through the traditional realm of environmentalists and explores the world of the benefits composting has on the garden. These benefits are impossible to deny but many people have avoided getting started for two good reasons: either they don’t have the yard space, or, they are put off by the appearance and the smell. These were legitimate excuses just a few years ago. Today, however, advances in technology and in composting science have eliminated these issues.
Composting can be done virtually anywhere, including indoors, and the mess and odor are easier to control than ever before. The extra nutrients extracted from composting makes for a well-fed garden with plenty of nutrients and rich moisture. Composting for a New Generation includes tried-and-true composting methods and new, innovative techniques. You’ll learn the science of composting, traditional bin composting (including how-to sections on building your own bin), vermicomposting (with worms), composting with nature, keyhole gardens, organic composting, and using your finished compost. Composting for a New Generation is the most complete book to date for your organic soil needs.
COMPOSTING FOR A NEW GENERATION is perfect for:
- Anyone interested in learning effective composting methods and new innovative techniques
- Those interested in learning the science of composting
- Exploring the methods of traditional bin composting, composting with nature, keyhole gardens, and much more!
