What's a Garbage Garden?

It's not just a lot of SCRAP!

What's a Garbage Garden, You ask?

Don't toss it scrap it:

My friend Julie tosses many of her vegetable scraps and seeds into a garden and watches it grow! It not only makes great compost soil.  It makes great vegetables.  It's a simple idea and one that thrives every summer.  It's colorful and resourceful, and it's always a surprise to see what will grow.  She gets a variety of vegetables from tomatoes to peppers, all types, all sizes. So, think twice before you put everything in the garbage disposal.

Toss scaps into one garden spot

Whether you toss the scraps into one spot or separate them into different pots - your garden will flourish and be fruitful!
