Kate Flood aka Compostable Kate is happiest when she’s teaching people about compost or is elbow deep in the stuff. She’s a compost nerd and sustainability educator, and she’s on a mission to help others step-up their household waste management.
Her book, The Compost Coach, is a guide to creating the very best compost and is pitched at the home composter, including people who live in apartments and houses with or without gardens (yes, you can compost without a garden!).
She explains what compost is, what it does and how to slow compost, which is just one of the many ways to do it.
WHAT IS COMPOST?
Composting is a microbial-driven process of decomposition. It turns organic matter into a valuable amendment that feeds the life in your soil. To put it more simply, compost is the transformational process that turns ‘waste’ into a resource. It’s real-life alchemy – changing scraps into black gold.
