If you want to grow the best garden you can, one of the best ways is to actually use your garbage. In this book the family has a nice garden and grows many different kinds of plants, but in order to make them grow as best as they can they use compost. A compost bin is a good place to put garbage in. Naturally we are not talking about plastic bottles or things like "meat scraps or dairy products" because they will attract unwanted animals to your bin. This family's compost bin is a "big box" made of wood.The children of the family carefully collect their garbage and put it in a large plastic container until they are ready to take it to their composting bin. They put things such as "cantaloupe rinds and Dad's coffee grounds from breakfast, leftover lettuce from lunch, old broccoli from the fridge, and peanut shells from [their] snack." They gather and put things in the bin like grass, leaves, vines, flowers and other "organic matter." Every now and then one of the children will spray the pile to keep it damp. Their mother helps turn the pile with her pitchfork. In this book you can watch as this family composts their "garbage" into compost that will eventually put "important nutrients back into the soil" and make "the earth richer."This is a perfect book to introduce children to composting and its benefits to our gardens and environment. The book has a nice layout and is quite homey in that we see a family and some of their friends actually working on their own compost pile. This personal approach, in addition to the back material, is an easy and fun way for children to learn. Although not stated, you can see how well their garden grows during the growing season. For example, a pumpkin seeding is taken from the compost bin and planted. Later the sisters proudly display their harvested pumpkin. In the back of the book is a two-page tutorial on composting in the form of questions and answers. If you are looking for a casual instructional approach to composting, this is one book you may wish to consider! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Super Book for Curious Kids! *by T***N on Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2010* We have had a garden for about 3 years, my oldest daughters idea. We talk about what to plant, lay it out on paper, buy our seeds and plant it! Now we have 3 children and all of them love to garden, watching the plants grow, harvesting and probably eating is the most enjoyable. This book is a great way to add to a childs knowledge and encourage them to be more planet friendly. I would highly recommend this book! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/8335604-garbage-helps-our-garden-grow-a-compost-story-library-binding](https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/8335604-garbage-helps-our-garden-grow-a-compost-story-library-binding) --- *Product available on Desertcart Cyprus* *Store origin: CY* *Last updated: 2026-06-22*
