But let\u2019s be honest: composting is work. You\u2019ve got to learn the process in order to master it, and it requires an investment of time, effort and regular maintenance. If you want to do more with your food scraps but aren\u2019t sure if you\u2019re ready to dive into composting just yet, we\u2019ve got the perfect solution.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can take your food scraps and put them to use in your garden without composting. That\u2019s right \u2013 you can take the cuttings, peels and roots left behind on your cutting board and deposit them directly into the soil of your garden. Find out how to turn food scraps into plant-boosting soil additives or pest-fighting protection throughout your garden, all without any waiting required.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Bury banana peels for extra nutrients<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bananas are a great source of potassium \u2013\u00a0just one banana contains approximately <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ods.od.nih.gov\/factsheets\/Potassium-HealthProfessional\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">422 milligrams<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0or 9 percent of your daily recommended total. And while that potassium is great for your own nutritional needs, it\u2019s also fantastic for plants.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The potassium present in a banana\u2019s peels can help your plants grow healthy and strong. This nutrient helps plants take in and transfer water at a cellular level, grow healthy roots, fight diseases and produce more fruit and blossoms.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, you can take your empty banana peel out into your backyard and \u201cfeed it\u201d to your plants. All you have to do is bury the peel in the soil (and make sure it\u2019s a couple inches deep to prevent bugs). From there, the banana peel will break down, releasing its potassium right into the soil for plants to pick up.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Use crushed eggshells as a fertilizer<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s a food waste \u201crecycling\u201d tip you\u2019ve likely heard before. You can crush up eggshells and sprinkle them throughout your garden. This common idea is so well-known because it\u2019s highly effective \u2013\u00a0and because it\u2019s a great way to take eggshells from waste to key ingredient.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eggshells are made up of calcium carbonate. That\u2019s the very same calcium that builds strong bones and muscle in humans, and plants can also benefit from it. An extra dose of calcium can help prevent blossom-end rot, a plant problem that\u2019s directly tied to a calcium deficiency. Specifically, plants like tomatoes, peppers, broccoli and spinach can get a boost from these calcium-packed shells.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead of throwing away your eggshells, crush them up and carry them out to your garden. You can mix them into the soil of flower beds, fruit and veggie plants or even the holes into which you\u2019re planting seedlings. You can add as much eggshell as you\u2019d like.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And there\u2019s an added bonus to putting eggshells into soil: The shells also help keep slimy pests like snails and slugs off your plants. If you\u2019re facing an invasion from these critters, you can also sprinkle crumbled eggshells on top of the soil.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.betternutrition.com\/green-living\/5-ways-to-put-your-compost-to-use\/\">5 Ways to Put Your Compost to Use<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Keep pests away with orange peels<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re frustrated every time you head out into your yard and discover bugs have been munching on your plants, it\u2019s time to turn to your fruit bowl.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead of dropping orange peels right into the trash, you can use them to fight off pests that are interested in snacking on your flowers, food and more. Orange peels are <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a natural pest deterrent<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and they\u2019re so effective that they\u2019re used as an ingredient in many bug repellent sprays. The peels work well because most insects, including fleas, fire ants, mosquitoes, flies and roaches, dislike their fragrance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To create an anti-pest barrier in your garden, all you have to do is scatter pieces of orange peels around the base of your plants. You can also bury the peel just below the surface of the soil or incorporate shredded peels into the soil in areas where aphids are appearing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Increase foliage with coffee grounds<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re hoping to grow plants that are lush with foliage, look to your coffeemaker. Your leftover coffee grounds can go from trash to fertilizer in your garden.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Coffee grounds are a composting favorite because they <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thespruce.com\/using-coffee-grounds-in-your-garden-2539864\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">add nitrogen into the mix<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a key ingredient for the waste-to-compost process. And that nitrogen is also highly beneficial even if you aren\u2019t turning the grounds into traditional compost material. When you infuse extra nitrogen into the soil, plants can thrive and see increased healthy foliage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just mix your coffee grounds into the soil throughout your flower beds or planters. If you want to keep pests at bay, you can also sprinkle the grounds on top of the soil around the edges of your garden. This works to stop slugs, rabbits, squirrels and neighborhood cats from getting at your plants.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just be careful not to put <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">all<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of your coffee grounds into your garden\u2019s soil. Adding too many grounds, or using them too frequently, can add a bit too much caffeine. That, in turn, can actually stunt plants\u2019 growth. To err on the side of safety, stick with a small amount every now and then.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Grow a better garden by feeding your plants your food scraps!
