Compost by Ben Raskin

What does happen to the food we dont eat all those discarded apple cores and rejected Brussels sprouts? Did you know that there are as many living organisms in a teaspoon of soil as there are people in the whole world? And that wriggly worms are our helpful, earthy friends? This book deals with these questions.
Ben Raskin is the Head of Horticulture at the Soil Association in the UK, and author of Zero-Waste Gardening (2021). He runs courses and training on organic growing including community orchards, and launched the Soil Association’s flagship Organic Apprenticeship Scheme in 2007. Ben got the gardening bug working on an organic vineyard in northern Italy, and has worked in horticulture for over 20 years, including a stint as Assistant Head Gardener at the UK charity Garden Organic. He has also written The Community Gardening Handbook; Compost; Grow; and Bees, Bugs & Butterflies for Leaping Hare Press.
