I have decided to compost my food scraps this last year. I have a small area in the back of the apartment. I have buried all my apple cores, orange peels, etc.
I grew a garden there last year. My worm population has really increased. I use and old shovel I found. I collect the scraps and keep them in old coffee cans in the fridge. I reuse the cans and when I get three I have to do my garden chore.
I even buried the scraps all winter. I am anxious to plant again this next year. My garden was a huge success last year. I asked the landlord and he was excited about the garden last year. I gave him tomatoes. He says I can plant more this year. I grew $500 worth of food last year. I was so excited about how well everything grew.
The compost will only help. Why do we have to throw out the scraps when they will make any small garden really blast off? Composting has been fun. I am more connect to the earth because of it. There is no reason to throw out vegtable scraps and have the garbarge truck burn fuel to haul them off.
