backyard composting backyard composting
John Roulac

Composting allows you to do something for the part of the Earth you live with day by day: your own back garden. This book follows basic values, such as putting things where they belong and not making a mess. Composting at home reduces your personal volume of rubbish, conserves water, increases plant growth, replaces the need for toxic chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and is also fun.

While you may not win an "environmental hero of the year" award, your trees, earthworms, butterflies and other flora and fauna will be grateful for your composting achievements. The book also introduces the various types of composting bins and accessories, explaining the pros and cons of each type and giving instructions for building one from scrap materials. 96pp

Carol Steinfeld

This entertaining and fact-filled book tells you how urine - which contains most of the nutrients in domestic wastewater and usually carries no disease risk - can be utilized as a liquid manure: recycle, save water and energy, and prevent pollution, all at the same time! Steinfeld begins with a short history of urine use from ritual to medicinal, to even culinary, and shows how urine is used worldwide to grow food and plants, while protecting the environment, saving its users the cost of fertilizer, and reconnecting people to the land and the nutrient cycles that sustain them. 128pp
