New Book
Along with backyard chickeners, balcony beekeepers, rooftop farmers, and community gardeners, urban composters are part of a bumper crop of pioneers who are redefining the green space of crowded towns and cities. You may think you need a big yard to compost. Think again. Compost City teaches you how to easily choose and care for a compost system that fits perfectly into your (tiny) space, (busy) schedule, and (multifaceted) lifestyle. Whether you live in a cramped apartment or a sprawling town house, or you dream of composting in a shared space with a group of friends or colleagues, Compost City provides simple and effective indoor and outdoor composting options.
About the Author:
From Rebecca Louie’s blog TheCompostess.com:
My name is Rebecca Louie and I’m a certified NYC Master Composter, Catskills beekeeper, playful gardener and all-around green girl. I love to cook, travel, explore and experiment. I am so glad to have this site to share some of my adventures and the expertise of awesome eco innovators around the globe!
Born and raised in Queens, New York, I’m sad to say I wasn’t always a big advocate for Ma Earth. In fact for many years, I didn’t give her much of a thought. I didn’t do any outdoorsy stuff as a kid; I often stayed inside and read books (#nerdalert). Nature was something I passed through to get where I was going, not something I lived in or was a part of.

Compost City by Rebecca Louie Reviews:
“Shelburne Farms is always looking for new ways to connect teachers and students with agriculture that goes beyond their time here on the farm. Compost is a crucial component to healthy food systems, but you don’t need 1,400 acres to practice this. Compost City illustrates all you need to know about recycling food, no matter how small the space at home or school. We believe that learning should be infused with joy and wonder, and Louie does just that with her fun, engaging style. Compost City will be well-used in our library.”—Alec Webb, President of Shelburne Farms, VT
