Our Chelsea Green Authors : Joseph Jenkins

Joseph Jenkins

Joseph Jenkins has composted humanure at his home in Pennsylvania since 1979, while raising a family. During that time he has developed an extraordinary depth of insight into the processes involved. His easy writing style, thorough research, and execrable humor have caused his self-published books to be published on three continents and circulated around the world. Jenkins has received three national awards for his books and has been a finalist in seven other book award competitions. More information can be found on his website.
