I read the thread title and thought I hope this feller isn't a doctor! That summary sure makes it sound easy. For this recipe, first catch your elephant......

I give this book 8 out of 10 acorns.

Let it Rot! by Stu Campbell is an easy reading guide to composting that anyone can pick up and learn from. Originally published in 1975, it is still full of wisdom for the modern composter. Personally, I appreciated the more technical side of the writing as a moderately skilled composter but this guide seems to be a more beginner focused book. I believe this text gives a decent understanding from A to Z on the subject of composting.

I would recommend this book to all.
