"When Malcolm Beck was a kid, he spent many hours watching and studying nature. He has continued that education throughout his life and has used this knowledge to develop the most efficient and most power- ful composting operation in the country. His common-sense approach is now laid out for you in detail in this book. Read it and pay attention. Most people are still looking for it - Malcolm found it!"

Howard Garrett, author, newspaper columnist, radio host

 

"Malcolm Beck's intuitive knowledge and lifelong research on the subject of compost and composting gives us a holistic presentation of the process in The Secret Life of Compost."

John Dromgoole, organic gardening authority, radio host

 

"In this nation where we take for granted our extractive, technologi- cally luxurious lifestyle, Malcolm Beck's knowledge and wise words give each of us the understanding and direction to initiate the regeneration of the most precious life form known - soil. For our flower box, yard, farm or vast rangelands, we must be sculptors of the process. He clearly tells us how and why."

Patricia 0. Behrens, Ph.D., Dick Richardson, Ph.D., University of Texas-Austin

 

"Malcolm Beck is driven by a desire to make his portion of the world a better place by recycling man's waste products as compost to the soil to maintain and improve our nation's greatest natural resource - the soil. By reading The Secret Life of Compost, you too can understand and join this great crusade."
