Looking for an entertaining introduction to composting? Refreshing, bizarre, comical, zany, earthy, and spirited - this is the real-life story of a man who has built a 200-foot-long, forty-foot-high pile of compost and a Garden of Eden in a residential suburb of Los Angeles.

It is covered with beautiful plants and trees, squawking geese and inquisitive turkeys, and receives surprising community support. You will always remember Zeke the Sheik, creator of this Ladder of Matter, who speaks in rhyme.
