Fletcher Sims Compost

This book covers the optimal conditions for converting plant and animal wastes into compost by balancing the correct ratio of raw materials, using the correct microorganisms and moisture content, proper pile or wind¬row construction, and efficient mixing. Fletcher Sims, the Dean of Composters, has elevated the ''art'' of good composting to a ''science.'' Explains not only the complexities of commercial-scale compost production, but also the benefits of the use of this gentle fertilizer. This appealing combination of a biography and technical guide was written by the founder of Acres U.S.A.
