It is widely accepted that composting benefits both the environment and the garden, as a means of reducing waste while contributing to a healthy soil. This practical guide offers a host of composting techniques for the home, allotment and community gardener, as well as indoor and balcony composting for those without access to a garden. It explains the processes behind aerobic composting and anaerobic fermentation, and the conditions necessary to compost effectively without mess or smell.
