review 1: If I were a more advanced gardener, I probably would have given this book more stars since some of the terms and concepts were not necessarily for beginners. I would have also not skimmed a large portion of it. I am currently interested in composting with worms and chicken manure. The authors did discuss more thoroughly the former, but not much with the latter. At this stage, just learning how to grow veggies is enough. Trying to grow them in a compost garden adds another dimension of difficulty and work.
review 2: This was a wonderful look at the very many ways to compost (worms, bins, tumblers, pit composting, etc). The very plentiful photographs were illuminating, the writing descriptive and encouraging, and the authors enthusiastic. It would be perfect for... more anyone new to composting. I however was hoping for a bit more technical information about ratios of browns and greens (this was just touched on) and more detail about compost trouble shooting, Ph levels, etc. Overall it was still a worthy read and I'm sure my heaps will appreciate it. less
