People keep throwing food out of the kitchen daily and wasting money…
If you ever thought about recycling food waste into the garden. It can be used as compost or soil back in the ground again.
Another way of saving money on buying vegetables, even fruits from the supermarket. Did you know that any vegetable seed produces more vegetable in the garden even fruit seeds?
Is it easy or hard to do this by putting food waste back in the garden?
No, it is not hard, and you can try to learn from a novice deaf gardener.
First of all, I learnt how to do gardening even I hated weeding, doing the garden when I was a little deaf girl. My mother said to me when I am older enough, and I will have to do gardening. My reply was yes, I am going to achieve this and show our garden when anyone can visit us here. My mother was dismayed when she came over to our new home in Eureka nearly five years ago. The garden has changed a lot and grow bigger since my sister and mother visited here less than a couple years ago. Rarely our friends visited here from time to time and wonder how much more I will be doing the garden project. It will be one and a half years to go until I am satisfied with the garden project and the outcome results in all seasons throughout the years to come.
Well, first of all, STOP THROWING FOOD WASTES in the rubbish bins!!
Put any food scraps that you do not want to keep longer or make into soup. Throw into an old ice cream container with the lid and store under the sink, on the bench or in the pantry.
Put some food scraps from the ice cream container into the bucket, and the rest of foodscapes can be made into vegetable soups for long cold winter nights. Keep the large bucket with the lid on in a warm and shady place. You may notice that I have two buckets – one with holes on the bottom and the second bucket without holes.
Once the large bucket is full and empty this large bucket to outside where there is a large drum with holes in the garden. This large white drum was left in the vast middle garden by the previous owners before 2014.
The holes surround the drum was for the air circulation, and of course, we know about having rats or mice creeping inside the drum, and it never happened due I checked regularly. Because we have got two dogs hanging around the gardens and fields by chasing rabbits, birds even possums.
