This is the classic guide to turning household waste into gardener's gold! In 1975, Let it Rot! helped start the composting movement and taught gardeners everywhere how to recycle waste materials like household garbage, grass clippings, and ashes to create soil-nourishing compost. This book contains advice for starting and maintaining a composting system, building bins, and using compost.
