Pleasant Place Issue 3: Compost is a compact, hands-on guide to one of gardening's most elemental and underappreciated practices — treating composting not as a chore but as a creative, experimental act of making.
About This Book
Part of the Pleasant Place series — a growing collection of publications dedicated to the art and practice of gardening — this issue takes a deep, focused look at compost in all its dimensions. The approach is resolutely practical: how to begin, what ingredients to use, which methods suit different gardens and circumstances. But it also reaches further, examining the role of worms in the composting process, how organic waste is managed at a city zoo, and even digital composting within Minecraft. It is a publication for anyone who wants to understand the full ecology of what happens when organic matter breaks down and becomes productive again.
