While helping to turn a plain paper manuscript into a new book, The Complete Compost Gardening Guide, I've learned that compost can be beautiful.
This lesson came from Delilah Smittle, our project editor, who often likes what she sees when she looks at the colors and forms in working compost. I confess that I was missing out on these pleasures until I was taught to take a second look.
Some days Mount Rotto looks better than others, but now I'm seeing the beauty in my compost's abundant incoming stream of stuff.
