Description
Smelly, slimy, cold, or just sitting there doing nothing?
A compost pile that has gone wrong is one of the most common reasons people give up on composting, and it is almost always easy to fix once you know what the pile is telling you. This guide helps you diagnose the problem and put it right, fast.
Written by a plant biologist and environmental scientist whose background is in soil carbon cycling, it works through the six common compost problems (ammonia smell, slimy and wet, cold and not heating, dry and inactive, flies and pests, and breaking down too slowly).
For each one you get what you are seeing, why it is happening, the step-by-step fix, and how to stop it coming back. It comes with a quick-reference table you can match your symptom to, and a plain FAQ.
It pairs with the Compost Green & Brown Balance Guide: one helps you prevent problems by getting the mix right, this one rescues a pile that has already gone wrong. Written so you fix the cause, not just the symptom.
