Compost: It’s Basically Dinner for Your Garden
Turns out, your kitchen scraps have a second act. And Charles Dowding is here to make sure they get it.
In Compost, Dowding puts the humble compost heap at the very heart of his No Dig gardening method, showing you how to turn everyday kitchen and garden waste into rich, nourishing goodness for your plants. Because apparently, the secret to a thriving garden isn’t another fancy gadget—it’s letting your banana peels live their best afterlife.
Inside, you’ll discover what can (and absolutely should) go into your compost, how to find that magical balance of ingredients, and clever ways to compost whether you have a sprawling garden, a tiny courtyard, or just enough outdoor space for a few determined pots.
Beautifully illustrated and wonderfully practical, this is a book for gardeners who like their soil healthy, their flowers happy, and their waste put to very good use.
A charming little guide to making less rubbish and more garden magic.
