Composting: Turning Kitchen Scraps into Garden Gold

Composting is a simple way to recycle kitchen scraps and create nutrient-rich soil for your garden. Instead of tossing fruit peels, coffee grounds, and veggie scraps into the trash, you can save them to make your own natural fertilizer.

Composting

Why compost?

• Reduce household waste

• Feed your plants naturally

• Save money on fertilizers

• Help fight climate change by cutting landfill methane

  
  

What you can compost:

• Fruit and vegetable scraps

• Coffee grounds and tea bags

• Eggshells

• Dry leaves and shredded paper

  
  

What to avoid:

• Meat, dairy, oily foods

• Diseased plants

• Pet waste

  
  

Getting started is easy:

Keep a small bin or container in your kitchen to collect daily food scraps. When it's full, add it to your outdoor compost pile or larger compost bin. Layer "greens" (wet scraps) and "browns" (dry leaves/paper), stir every week or two, and let nature do the rest. In a few months, you'll have rich, healthy compost ready to boost your garden!

Composting is a small change that makes a big difference — for your plants and the planet.
