The Compost Kitchen: Turning scraps into next year's soil

Janet M. Bryan

You will learn to see your kitchen scraps as the beginning of something rich and alive. Janet M. Bryan walks you through the quiet science and simple practice of turning onion skins, coffee grounds, and fallen leaves into dark, crumbly soil. You will understand the balance of green and brown matter, what belongs in your bin and what does not, and how to layer and tend your pile so air and water keep the living organisms thriving. Rosemary Adair reads with the steady patience of someone who has spent mornings turning heaps and knows the satisfaction of earth warming in your hands. Her tone is clear, unhurried, and grounded. You will finish ready to start your own pile and wait for the transformation.
