The Compost Book by David Taylor

Did you know that charcoal makes a great slow-release plant food? Or that yoghurt speeds up compost activity and that chamomile keeps your heap smelling sweet? In the Compost Book the authors David & Yvonne Taylor divulge the secrets of good compost-making. They have been experimenting with compost since 1985, when they began creating a city community garden on a site of builders' fill. You'd be surprised what you can throw into a compost heap instead of into your garbage bin. But it's not just a haphazard affair. The best composts have a balance of nitrogen to carbon, acidity/alkalinity and temperature, some are fast, others slow, some are tossed, others cook under cover. Compost is a natural fertiliser. It will condition your soil and give you strong soil growth, bright flowers, pungent perfumes and nutritious fruits and vegetables.
