Notes:

List of common compostables (dry, carbon-rich browns and wet, nitrogen-rich greens), p.34-35

Composting techniques: pit composting, trench composting, digester composting, sheet composting, p. 42-43

Make sure your bin is "rodent resistant," p. 58

A good fork for turning your compost is probably the first tool you should buy - and could be the last. p. 59

Tip for composting in the north & central states with long cold winters: shred dry leaves in the fall and keep them on hand to add to the pile throughout the winter (to mix in with kitchen scraps). p. 69

Micro-composting: use a pot or planter (or use two, for different stages of composting). Make sure there are drainage holes in the bottom and a cover on top. Use old soil, newspaper, other absorbent materials on the bottom to get started. p. 81

Other micro-compost options: window boxes, compost towers, garbage cans, laundry hampers, commercial bins and tumblers, worm bins, p. 83 ( )
