Americans generate more than 36 million tons of food waste annually
according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, but only four percent of
that waste is composted. The rest winds up in your local landfill or incinerator. Not only is it
easy to transform your kitchen scraps into a rich, organic soil additive, it
can save you money and help the environment.
Potato peels from Friday night’s dinner, Pasta leftovers from spaghetti
dinner or coffee grounds from the late nights of studying and working on My Garden Things success.
These common household remainders are all byproducts in the food preparation process most of us consider only as
garbage, but sweet little worms really love this stuff!
If you have a worm bin, they will produce nutrient-rich compost so you
don't have to purchase potting soil. Using worms to turn kitchen waste into a productive,
organic soil additive to make your plants and edible gardens thrive.

it's called gold garden because it is so prosperous in its possibilities."

I am working on becoming a master vermicomposting expert

cloud.)
"You help your roses, you help your vegetable garden, you help
your garden grow more at very little cost to you and with very little
effort," Andes said. "You turn waste into an asset."
If you visit the garden center at your local home improvement store,
you will likely pay about $5-6 hard earned dollars for an 8-quart bag of
potting soil. That's no bueno!
For about the same amount of money, you can purchase a plastic storage
bin and make a lifetime supply of potting medium for free!

you feed him for a lifetime.”
