]]> My plan was to start composting at home, perhaps because it just feels wrong to throw food and garden waste into a plastic bag and then into a dumpster. So I went straight to researching compost containers, so that I could buy one right away and get started. What I learned quickly by reading product reviews is that there is both science and art involved in making compost and mistakes can lead to “icky” results. So what is composting, how does it work and what will I need to do to be successful?… Although I couldn’t imagine reading a long, tedious book about composting, I did read some book reviews to see if there was something that might give me the education I needed before getting any further along on my journey. I found Ken Thompson’s book Compost, the natural way to make food for your garden and am getting just the type of information I wanted.  It’s a quick read, with specifics on how composting works and what you need to know to get the right balance of ingredients. He gives pros and cons on different types of compost containers and even offers instructions for making your own. The book also addresses all the ways that compost can be used. I’ll reserve my final recommendation until I’m finished reading, but so far so good.
