Product Description

During his seven years as Editor-in-Chief of Organic Gardening magazine, Mike McGrath learned quite a bit about the nature and science of composting. And he’s never stopped studying, because he wants to give the best, most up-to-date information to the listeners of his nationally-syndicated Public Radio show, “You Bet Your Garden.” He offers the fruits of his labors in this illustrated guide that reveals why compost is the answer to virtually every garden question. McGrath explains why compost improves soil structure; why it provides the perfect amount of food for every plant; how it fights plant diseases more safely and effectively than any chemical fungicide; and how to make your own. This is a must-have on every gardener’s bookshelf!

Customer Reviews

author drives ya crazy.3
Has the needed info in it, but could have been 60 pages instead of 120 pages. I just wanted the facts and a library to go to. The author sounds like a 60s guy trying to make jokes. Seems like every other sentence then has parenthesis with some joke or wise crack. For me it got old. If you like that kind of thing, then you will like the book. Like i said, i would have rather had 60 pages of facts that i could find again.

All you ever needed to know about composting5
BUY THIS BOOK. You'll never regret it, and you'll read it to tatters. Turn your household garbage into beautiful rich loam. Mr. McGrath tells you what you need to know, in simple but funny language, about composting. This is an excellent gift book, written by someone who knows how to make plain old information fascinating and funny. Although we've never met, I sense a kindred soul who understands how to save the planet by intelligently recycling garbage to create a home for flowers and vegetables.

Composting is an art. This book will tell you how to learn it.

Do not Compost this book!5
Very fun book about everything you ever wanted to know about compost but were afraid to ask. Mike McGrath does it again.
