Quick Tip

I just came across this on another site and wanted to share.I do this already and I have a compost "barrel" too.I actually buried a few overripe tomatoes close to my newly planted Yellow Bells this spring and have two very nice tomato plants that have small fruit on them.You have to love free plants,especially veggies.This is a simple thing that everyone can do.You might want to chop up peelings and such,to hasten the cycle,but it helps keep what should go back to the earth out of the landfills.Also cuts down on the production of methane gas in our overfilled trash heaps.You actually can save a little money by doing this also,because it provides nutrients back to the soil.

So here is the paragraph that sparked this entry........."When peeling or cutting raw vegetables or fruits, please give them back to mother earth. Feed them to your plants and trees or dig a hole and let it disintegrate back to nature. Let this be food to them. It makes plants look gorgeous and you will feel the same. Onion peels, squeezed lemons, ends of any sort, banana peelings, etc." - Ann Hankins
