I went to the farmer’s market on Saturday and bought a lot of veggies. I prepped salads for the week (mason jar salads… have you tried them??) and dinners. I have lots of veggie scraps left over that I just couldn’t bring myself to throw away, so they are all in jars in the kitchen until I figure out what to do with them.

I’m looking into composting drums that you can turn daily… but it looks like you can’t add food daily, so that doesn’t completely solve my problem (and I don’t have extra money right now anyway).

Can you please advise me about what to do with my veggie scraps that will ultimately lead to nutrient rich soil for a future garden? I have a small urban yard and don’t want to attract rats or other critters to my yard, and am not mentally prepared to get a bunch of worms to keep in a bin.

Should I just rope off a corner of the yard? What then?
