Composting is the practical art of making healthier and more colorful gardens while reducing your dependence on polluting chemicals. The latest discoveries in organic, environmentally aware forms of gardening offer no-smell, no-cost ways to make nature's decomposition processes work for you. Make your own true "new miracle plant food" by mixing eggshells, grass cuttings, and banana skins, and other waste, and making insects work for you. The simple new approach features a show-and-tell guide to building a compost box, selecting the best ingredients, choosing the ideal accelerator, and distributing the compost to supply maximum nutrients to your plants, and ensure soil aeration, water retention, and drainage.
