Book Reviews of The Complete Compost Gardening Guide: Banner batches, grow heaps, comforter compost, and other amazing techniques for saving time and money, and ... most flavorful, nutritous vegetables ever.
Book Review: A bit "cutesy", but informative
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a very good collection of information, describing methods of composting suited to diverse living situations from inner-city apartments to country homesteads. The authors take composting "out of the box" and suggest ways in which imaginative readers can devise composting projects adapted to their own individual situations.
I personally thought that the alliterative names, such as "Banner Batch", "Treasure Trench", "Honey Hole", etc., were rather contrived and "cutesy" - getting in the way rather than helping the reader to understand and remember the concepts being presented - but once you get past the stylistic quirks, the information itself is quite useful.
