This book turns the compost bin upside down with a natural six-way gardening system of keeping compost heaps right in the garden, rather than in some dark corner behind the garage. The compost and plants live together from the beginning in a nourishing, organic environment.

Author Barbara Pleasant's bountiful, compost-rich gardens require less digging, weeding, mulching and even less planting. And here's one of the best parts — no more backbreaking slogs from compost bin to garden. Pleasant and co-author Deborah Martin even identify the plants that benefit most from compost and how the elements of a composted garden work together. Their natural six-way compost gardening system provides the ruling principles for successfully improving every garden with healthy compost.

Made from 100% post-consumer-recycled plastic, the Worm Composter, or vermicomposter, makes composting clean, easy and odor-free even in small apartment spaces, kitchens, porches or garages.

Built-in collector tray and spigot for easy worm-tea draining. The optimum temperature for the worms is 40-80 degrees Fahrenheit and they should be kept in a cool, dry place. 16-page instruction manual. 15½"H x 15½"D. Height varies depending on usage. 15 lbs. with four trays. Five-year mfg. warranty. USA.
