Section Two The Canadian Statesman. Bowmanvillo. March 1. 1989 3 Food Scraps in Gardens Take Pressure Off Dumps Each household throws out n certain quantity of food and table scraps each day. These scraps are usually usually placed in the garbage can but that is not where they belong. If they are thrown into the garbage can they end up in the municipal waste stream where they are simply simply one more item in a veiy complex, mix of waste. A much better way to treat these scraps is as soil enhancers. The method is simple, the results are incredible. incredible. Method 1. Dig a hole 1 fry deep in a corner of the garden garden and put all food and table table scraps into this hole. Leaf scraps, egg shells, coffee coffee grinds, left over salads, etc. can all go into this compost compost hole. Add a bit of lime if you have pieces of meat (spaghetti sauce) in the scraps. When the hole is nearly full dig another similar similar size hold or nit next to it and put the soil of the second second pit on top of the compost of the first. Method 2. Get some used bricks, blocks, or boards and build a box about the same size as the hole lm x lm x 1/ 2 m and put your table scraps into it.Turn the material material over every now and then and you will soon end up with rich, soil enriching mulch which can be used in flower pots or in your garden. garden. No matter which method you use the results are still the same. You are lowering the quantity of garbage going going from your house to the garbage dump and you are enriching your garden soil at the same time. J. Veldhuis.
