This is a decent beginners guide to composting. I enjoyed the visual aides and breakdowns on what is needed to be successful. The information was a bit scattered and constantly being told to go to this page or this chapter for reference was a bit annoying. I like all the information displayed in order. It started to feel like a scavenger hunt at one point for information. Overall, good information.
This book is everything it sets out to be, with answers to nearly all the questions I've had after years of basically muddling along. I don't know how it comes across to someone who's just getting started, but for me it's well tuned to the practical details of developing a compost system that works reliably and well.
