The tone may be cutesy but the information is solid. The authors cover everything from compost history to the national garbage problem. And in between there's a little science and plenty of how-to on constructing your pile, what to put in it, the pros and cons of commercial composting products, and using the finished product. The text is sprinkled with trivia and suggestions, from cutting your water bills to heating a greenhouse with compost heat.

This book manages to give lots of great "how-to" information and still keep a sense of humor about itself. After all, that's more than 200 pages on encouraging stuff to rot. Every serious gardner should have a good composting book and I would highly recommend this one.
