Every time most of us put our kitchen garbage out on the curb we throw out valuable nutrients. Kitchen scraps are full of the nutrients necessary for enriching the soil around your house, from small window boxes to full flower and vegetable gardens. Composting is one way to release the nutrients found in kitchen scraps and can be done in bins outside, or even in a box under your sink. Why spend money on expensive composts when you can make it yourself for free, and with minimal effort? Check with your local garden supply store or a composting friend for advice. LISTEN
