Compost by Clare Foster is an entertaining book, fascinating and enlightening about a subject that doesn't normally inspire any such adjectives in many peoples world apart from us gardeners. Nominated for the Garden Writers' Guild's Practical Book of the Year Award 2002 this is a good book to have on your shelf.
This book takes some of the fear out of making compost. A compost pile does not have to be a slimy pile of rotting vegetable matter at the bottom of your garden. It can be a thing of beauty, which restores order to your garden and also helps to cure some of the problems that build up over time in garden soil. Think of well made compost as being a bottle of natural antibiotics for Mother Nature.
This book is easy to understand and follow the guidance. There is no gobbledegook in it and all the science contained has been explained in a clear manner. There are diagrams to help you build various types of compost bins and wormeries so there is something for all gardeners who wish to start making their own “Black Gold”
