Industrial compost producers conduct laboratory chemical and microbiological analyzes and have equipment to maintain the desired temperature and humidity. The gardener does everything the old fashioned way, “by eye,” but he still has to deal with a complex microbiological process in order to obtain complete compost that will satisfy the needs of the soil and the plant. Experience and the intuition developed on its basis are of great importance here. In this book we will tell you about the technique of working with garden compost, the properties of its components, the rules for laying a compost heap, and then it’s up to you.
