How to Make Compost and Leaf Mold: The simple, easy way to make the best organic fertiliser and soil conditioner

Ladies, are you embarrassed by your smelly compost heaps? Gents, are all your trendy friends talking about Leaf Mold, but you have no idea what it is, or how to make it, let alone what to do with it?

Then this is the book for you: written specifically (on request) for everyone who wants to start right at the beginning, with no foreknowledge of the subject at all.

This is two books for the price of one: the first book is All About Compost with clear and simple descriptions of what happens in a compost heap, how to build them properly, and how to manage them, not forgetting What To Put In, and – just as important – What Not To Put In, with the emphasis on easy care and doing as little work as possible.

The second part is all about Leaf Mold: what it is, how it differs from compost, how to make it, how and why to collect leaves, exactly what to do with them, what to expect, and what to use it for.

The book clearly explains the differences between Compost and Leaf Mold, along with why they need to be treated separately, and the benefits of each.

"As with the Vegetable Garden book, simplified, but not dumbed down."

“I am never disappointed with Rachel's friendly, chatty style.”

“I wish I'd had this book ten years ago – it breaks my heart to think of all those autumn leaves that I have wasted!”

“Once again, Rachel produces a book that actually does what it says on the tin: simple, clear explanations, light-hearted and encouraging.”

“I've had an allotment for years, and I thought I knew it all, but this shows there is room for improvement in everyone.”
