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!

I thought this book had considerable amount of information. Points of view and explictant detail, taught me more about compost than I knew. I would recommend this book to anyone who asks.

I love this book and refer to it often and have loaned out my copy to family members. I would love to see this as an ebook available on Nook.

I really enjoyed reading this book! Mr. McGrath really seems to know about composting! I found out what is wrong with my compost pile and how to fix it.

This book is great for a beginner. If you know nothing about compost this is a great place to start.
