Compost: Transform Waste into New Life by Charles Dowding
In the world of no-dig gardening, vegetable gardening, and homemade compost, Charles has over thirty years' experience as a professional market gardener. His YouTube channel has become a beacon for all of the above.
As the title suggests, he concentrates his vast knowledge on the process and principles of compost making. He has a lovely way of demystifying and clarifying what compost is, its benefits, what goes into it and how you can make your own. The information is often presented in both text and graphics, with key insights showcased in bite-sized frames.
Hand in hand with compost making for the author is the idea of no-dig gardening. It is the crucial ingredient in the relationship between soil and plants, for it is compost that feeds soil life, which in turn, via its interactions, nourishes plants. The beauty of this, according to Dowding, is in its simplicity, replication of natural processes, productivity and health benefits.
Concise and well expressed, Compost is an informative publication for novices and enthusiasts alike.
