Compost: The natural way to make food for your garden (Hardcover)

 Gorgeous hard cover book. Small format with beautiful pictures. Yes - beautiful pictures of garbage! Engaging to read because of the page designs and pictures. DK is my favorite publisher and they didn't let me down with this book. Great gift for friends just starting to get into the "green movement".
