And I do mean “anything!” Robert Pavlis’s book “Compost Science for Gardeners” covers it all, including of course, leading you through the nitty gritty, hands-on making of compost, various kinds of bins, and best uses of compost. Also, some specialized composts, such as bokashi and vermicompost, and more."—Lee Reich, PhD. author of The Ever Curious Gardener and Growing Figs in Cold Climates Come visit my farmden at http://www.leereich.com/blog http://leereich.com"Myth buster Robert Pavlis has done it again -- written an essential resource on the science (and art) of composting. This will be a great addition to your gardening bookshelf."—Rebecca Martin, technical editor for Mother Earth News "Robert Pavlis does what he does best: uses down to earth science to teach, this time to make great compost. This should be your go to manual for great soil!"—Jeff Lowenfels, author of DIY Autoflowering Cannabis, and the Teaming series books on organic growing.
