My daughter is super excited about the idea of a National Composting Day. She has wanted to start a composting space for a while now and since we eat a lot but still waste too much of our vegetables, we are perfect for it! Below are some books that you can get from Overdrive or that you can ask for on curbside pickup.
 | Little House in the Suburbs by Deanna Caswell and Daisy Siskins (from Overdrive) The easy-to-follow advice in this book will show you everything you need to know to enjoy an abundant, independent life on food and products grown in your own back yard. |

Whether you live in a city, suburb, or the country, this essential guide for the backyard homesteader will help you achieve a homespun life—from starting your own garden and pickling the food you grow to pressing wildflowers, baking sourdough loaves, quilting, raising chickens, and creating your own natural cleaning supplies. |  |
 | Composting : turn food waste into rich soil by Hanson-Harding, Brian (at Chili Library) Composting is a way to speed up the natural process of decomposition and return organic materials to the soil. Instead of throwing away organic waste, items such as fruit and vegetable scraps, eggshells, coffee grounds, and yard trimmings can be composted. The result is a dark, crumbly material that can be used to improve the soil and beautify gardens, parks, and lawns. |
| The complete compost gardening guide by Pleasant, Barbara (at Chili Library) Compost, gardener's gold, is the heart of any good gardening system. "The Complete Compost Gardening Guide" takes the mystery out of composting and shows gardeners how to compost their way to a garden that requires less digging, weeding, mulching, and even planting. |  |
