Compost

For ecologically concerned kitchens, composting kitchen trash is nothing new, but it may be for some home chefs. According to Taste of Home, composting veggies is simply the process of letting organic materials, such as vegetable leftovers, degrade. While this may not appear to be an exciting or enjoyable use for leftovers, it creates a really beneficial substance for people who garden or even have a pot of herbs. Those previously discarded vegetable scraps, fruit peels, paper, leaves, nutshells, and other organic things will decompose over time and become soil rich in nutrients for new plants to feed on and thrive.

There are various methods to get started, according to The Kitchn. Composting on your kitchen counter or in your freezer is the simplest technique. You only need to put scraps in a container. If it's going in the freezer, you should use an airtight container. To really utilize your compost for your plants, add leftover leftovers to a blender and spin them into a watery paste before adding them to your plants' soil with something like stale bread.
