    Get started on your composting journey with this practical, accessible, and fun guide to reducing your waste—including this book when you finish reading! Composting is so much more than just transforming food into soil; it is deeply existential, radical, and soul-opening. And no, it's not just for gardeners. You can compost in a bowl on your kitchen counter, or a bag under your sink, and you can compost things you're told you can't (although there are some things you probably shouldn't). Everyone can compost. And even if you're not going to compost at all, knowing about compost is engaging with a dialogue about zero waste.  With wry and brilliant writing, ​Cassanda Marketos brings the culture, beauty, community, and philosophy of compost to life in this one-of-a-kind, inventive work of narrative nonfiction that brings compost out of the dark ages and into the contemporary moment. Delightfully philosophical and inviting, it is an accessible guide to everything you need to know about compost, with actionable advice for beginners and experienced composters. You will learn why compost works, where to put your compost, how to pick your compost set up, the basics of decomposition, what to put in a compost pile, where to source your compost materials, and how to build a pile. With insights on what tools to consider, how to deal with odors, insects, and other critters, and transitioning your compost pile for colder weather, find easy-to-follow compost pile designs, tips on composting in small spaces, composting with worms, and how to compost things you're always told you can't (you just need to know how).  This book has something for everyone, at any stage in their compost journey, and includes edgy, delightful illustrations by the artist Sludge Thunder throughout. And ... it's literally compostable. Read it, follow the advice, and toss it into your compost pile.

THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION 
  
CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB 
  
Deadpool, also known as Wade Wilson, is a disfigured Canadian mercenary with a superhuman regenerative healing factor. Created by Rob Liefeld and Fabian Nicieza, he first appeared in New Mutants #98. Initially a supervillain, he later became an antihero, known for his humor and breaking the fourth wall. Deadpool's healing factor causes mental instability, making him an unpredictable fighter. He is a skilled marksman, swordsman, and martial artist. Over the years, Deadpool has been featured in numerous media, including films where he's portrayed by Ryan Reynolds. He is a complex and popular character with many alternate versions, and is considered one of Marvel's most beloved characters. 
  
CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: 
  
Deadpool's first appearance was in The New Mutants #98 in 1990, where he was hired to attack Cable and the New Mutants. He was initially a supervillain, but later became known as an antihero. 
  
Deadpool was created by Rob Liefeld and Fabian Nicieza, with Liefeld responsible for his visual design and name, and Nicieza for his speech mannerisms. Nicieza gave Deadpool the real name "Wade Wilson" as an inside joke, as a nod to the character "Slade Wilson," also known as Deathstroke from Teen Titans. 
  
Deadpool's design was influenced by Spider-Man, with Liefeld wanting to create a similar character but with guns and swords. He was also influenced by Wolverine and Snake Eyes, wanting to create his own versions of those characters.
