Composting is an effortless and cost-effective endeavour, and with the right guidance, it's a straightforward process to master. Why not learn from the best? Compost lies at the heart of Charles Dowding's transformative No Dig system of cultivation. Nourishing the soil community with a compost mulch is the surest way to ensure that your plants have access to the necessary nutrients for flourishing growth. Through trials, Charles has discovered that homemade compost is unparalleled in its nourishing qualities.

Moreover, by creating your own compost, not only are you recycling your garden and kitchen waste, but you're also feeding your soil, thereby increasing its capacity to store carbon and contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gases. Charles draws upon his years of experience to demystify and simplify the process, covering topics such as what to compost and how to achieve the right balance, dispelling myths that discourage people from composting, and providing effective composting solutions for every situation, from balcony gardening to smallholdings.

Achieve the best results with different systems, ranging from hotboxes and wormeries to single bins, pallet heaps, and multi-bay setups. Compost is a beautifully illustrated, infallible guide to producing compost gold.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
