Want healthier soil and less waste? Composting is the answer! With just a container (or even a dirt pile outside), some kitchen scraps, and a little patience, you can transform leftovers and scraps into nutrient-rich compost that your plants will love.

Toss in fruit and veggie peels, coffee grounds, eggshells, and yard clippings. Avoid meat, dairy, and anything greasy. Layer “greens” (wet, fresh) with “browns” (dry, carbon-rich materials like soil, leaves or even cardboard), keep it moist, and mix it often.

In a few months, you’ll have dark, crumbly goodness ready to feed your flowers, veggies, and herbs. Your garden will grows while your trash shrinks!
