 Rating:  - A useful book whith practical adviceUnlike the last reviewer I found this book was enough to make the difference to my composting efforts. I had tried many times but always ended up with lumpy, slimy, unuseable waste. I tried some of the ideas in the book (cardboard, turning the compost, for example) and for the first time had compost I could safely put on my plants. I bought it for my brother and he liked it too. Yes it is simple but sometimes that is what you need - a few simple steps to follow with no confusing details to distract you. And there's nothing complicated about compost! I did think the last chapter on recycling was spectacularly naff and didn't fit in with the rest of the book, but overall well worth buying. I'm thinking of trying a wormery next... Rating:  - Very visual.... better suited for kids perhaps?There nothing really wrong with this book, but even as a beginner gardener there was very little in it that I didn't already know. A very visual book, lots of pictures but short on substance. I read through it in roughly 15 minutes and was left with the feeling its target audience was really 10-14 year olds. Colourful, light and entertaining, but not a resource if you want to get serious about composting. Its saving grace could be to get your kids interested in helping out in the gargen.
