Meet Your Guide
Amy Landers
Co-founder of Gardens That Matter
Amy has been composting organic waste since the 1990s. It all started with an 8th grade science fair project: The Backyard Breakdown. Just look at those green and brown layers!
The experiment has continued informally ever since.
Amy has tested many methods and helped more than 133,000 people get started with a simple system for composting.
Today, Amy and her husband, Colby, host classes and an online community where gardeners come together to share experiences, build skills, and learn about composting and sustainable gardening.
High-quality compost is expensive to buy.
Your first bin could yield about 9 cubic feet of compost. Buying that much high-quality compost by the bag could cost upwards of $135. When you make it yourself, it's almost free. Let's start composting!

Really Explained It Well!
I'm a visual person and I loved the way it included pictures. Showing us what the bugs look like was great! I also liked the charts and the section on what to compost and what not to compost. It's so confusing at times knowing what to do. This book really explained it well!
- Pat, who gardens and composts with her family

Inspired to Improve
The infographics are AWESOME! I also liked the quick start section. Sometimes when you're excited about something you want to START NOW, so this is great feature. The book was motivating to me and inspired me to take our own composting system up a notch!
