Another lazy gardener tip!
I have no room for a compost pile nor the energy to tend to it.
So this is my little hack.
I collect all fruit and vegetable peels along with trimmings, eggs shells, coffee grounds, tea bags, fruit or veggies past their prime, etc. They are added to a bowl I keep on my counter (I'm sure you could find something much prettier).
When I get a chance I bury them around my gardens.
Just dig a hole
Add trimmings from the bowl
Cover with dirt and tamp down.The trimmings will decompose adding nutrients to your garden as well as feed your worms.
NOW come the SURPRISES!
You just never know what will pop up when composting this way.
This year I have these awesome volunteer plants!
Onions
Cantaloupe that is taking over
Full of blooms
With Cantaloupes almost ready to pick
This Cherry Tomato made it through 2 Winter so far!
And it's producing for the 3rd year!
I don't know how that is possible
but I have watched it very closely and it is the same plant.
So not only are you making your gardens healthier, reducing your waste, and feeding the worms, but you just may get some volunteer plants along the way.
