Composting Kitchen Scraps
Now that you are eating lots of fresh, local produce (choosing organics whenever you can), don't waste those scraps!
A
counter-top compost container can look pretty, and need not smell. I
keep mine within reach of the cutting board, tossing scraps in as I
cook. To empty it, I just carry it to the garden, dump it into the
compost bin, rinse it with the hose, and put it back on the counter.
It's easy and cuts down a surprising amount on my trash, which is also drier and lighter without food waste in it.
