Book Reviews of Easy Composters You Can Build
Book Review: It works!
Summary: 5 Stars
Great little book that cuts through the crap:) and shows some very practical and workable designs. I use large scale open-front bins, made of wood, so that I can use the front bucket on my tractor. Our composted barn bedding, horse manure, chicken guts, and other "stuff", is like magic on our pastures and around our immature Live Oaks, etc. When we lived in the burbs I composted grass clippings and was kicking myself for not starting it years before. I just made a 4 cornered bin using t-posts and hardware cloth (wire). It was 4' square by 3' high. We put all our grass clippings and fall leaves in it and by early winter the pile was less than a foot high. This was from a half acre lot with a lot of trees, but the bin was in a fairly sunny spot. The only thing extra that I did was a couple of times I put a layer of twigs on top so that a little air could circulate after the next batch of stuff was added. Go ahead and go for it! You'll be glad you did! Good luck!Book Review: good introduction to composting
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a good little book for a decent price to see if you are really interested in composting. It does show some various designs to build composters and what you can put into the composter. I built mine out of pallets and it is working fine with really no investment but my time.Book Review: Not worth the money
Summary: 2 Stars
Since I was in a hurry and did not read the description of this purchase I paid $3.95 for what I thought to be a book. This is a pamplet.
It really does not "show" you how to build composters with verbal descriptions instead of detail diagrams.
Book Review: Nice pamplet
Summary: 3 Stars
Well for 3.95 I would not expect a full book. But a little more details would have been nice. It does not really show you how to build a compost, but talks about it. I guess the rest is up to your imagination. A decent pamphlet. Does not go into detail about composting.Book Review: Easy composters you can build
Summary: 5 Stars
An easy to read book that shows different composters you can build for yourself. Lots of good information on composting in general. Exactly what I was looking for. You can spend more money on more elaborate composters, this one works fine for me.
