ebook coverWe get a LOT of questions about composting.

It is probably the second most asked about topic next to growing your own food. It seems a lot of people know about composting, think it’s a good idea, but either just don’t know enough or don’t have enough confidence to get started on their own.

What should my compost look like?

How can I tell if I have enough brown or green material in my compost?

What kinds of things can I compost?

How long does it take to turn waste into compost I can use?

We took all of the most frequently asked questions, along with some you may not have known to ask, and put the answers together in this Definitive Guide to Composting. We cover what compost is, how it’s made, different processes and methods, types of containers and how to choose what’s right for you.

We also offer some quick reference tools for composting that will come in handy. So whether you’re completely new to composting and need to know how to get started, or you’ve been composting for a while and just need a little help managing your compost or taking it to the next level, the Definitive Guide to Composting is a great place to start.
