We all know that we are producing more waste than ever before and it is becoming a HUGE problem. If you are one of those people who think big companies should start doing something, read on.
Three years ago, we started recycling food scraps instead of throwing
them into the garbage bin. We pile all the veggies and fruit scraps and make
compost. It is great for plants, a rich spongy soil full of nutrients. We dry eggshells
and crush them to add to soil; make banana tea (to water succulents); roast
banana peels in the oven, once roasted, I crush them, earthworms love it! We
have greatly reduced waste. With citric peels, we prepare a cleaner we use to
clean windows and furniture. We stopped using fabric conditioner and replaced
it with vinegar (white vinegar). That is our little contribution to a better
life.
And you? Have you already started composting?
This is how food scraps looks like after 3-4 months
See the earthworms? They decompose the scraps and enrich the future
compost
This is how compost looks like once strained
And those were the hard workers that made it possible (together with
pill bugs and other insects)
