It's really simple! When you have a small amount of kitchen scraps, you can make instant "compost" for your garden! Drop the scraps in your food processor and a little water. Puree and pour near the roots of one or more plants in the garden. Instant fertilizer!
This is a blog by one Mama who got tired of making excuses for not living the lifestyle she wanted. This is the story of that mama trying to change it all, and the lessons learned along the way.

Summer Blog Challenge: Day 29
The Day's Challenge: Write a how-to post.
I am not the most creative person, so I totally panicked when I read this challenge. Then my power went out for a few days, giving me a chance to think about it. I also had a chance to do lots of reading, since I had no TV, no computer, and no way to charge my phone byt teetered on the brink of a dead battery for days. The two ended up working together unexpectedly. I read in a Mother Earth News editorial about a great little how-to that I can share with you! Oddly enough, the person who submitted the idea is one town over from me!

ReplyDeleteThanks Laura! It's great to see what a little power outage can do to a person's brain! :) I've never used this method since we have a compote bin-- but I like it and will recommended it to other people I know who are just considering composting. :)
