Book Reviews of Let it Rot!: The Gardener's Guide to Composting (Third Edition) (Storey's Down-to-Earth Guides)

Book Review: Great starter book on composting
Summary: 5 Stars

I have been composting for nearly 30 years, and a lot of the information in this book is great for beginners, and some tidbits of information for those that are experienced as well. I like how the author touches on some science related to composting but does not overwhelm you with it. The author keeps it simple with just the facts you will need to create your own compost.

I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking to get into composting. This is more for compost piles and not to be confused with vermicompost. Although the author touches on vermicompost in the book, you are better off looking for a book dedicated to pure vermicomposting, then "Let it Rot!".
