At Green Action Centre, we maintain a collection of great books on composting. Whether you’re interested in biosolid composting, backyard composting, vermicomposting, or mid-to-large-scale composting, we either have a resource on hand or can help you find something! Here’s a partial list of what we have on hand. We even have some great children’s books on backyard and vermicomposting.
