Don’t just throw away your fruit peel, egg shells or coffee grounds — kitchen scraps like these can be a great source of nutrients and moisture for your garden soil. This new infographic will show you how to make use of food scraps without the need for a composter.
Using a technique called trench composting you can nourish your plants by placing the food waste directly into your soil, without waiting for it to break down in a compost bin. Banana skins, crushed egg shells, citrus peel, seed & nut shells and even old toilet rolls work well. Items to avoid include bread, rice, meat, milk products, cooking oil, sawdust, weeds and human/animal waste.
