Living whole can produce a lot of food scraps. This can make for a lot of compost! If you live in the city composting can be much more difficult. Space is an issue, smell is an issue, and let’s face it it’s not pretty either!
I like to find other things I can do with my food scraps. Although some does definitely go into my compost pile! I would like to share what I do with food waste that is “useable” beyond compost.
Here we feed a lot of food scraps to the rabbits or the chickens. Our rabbits produce most of the fertilizer we use for our gardens. With just three rabbits I get a ton of fertilizer!
Other ideas for using carrot scraps include regrowing the tops for edible greens, making vegetable stock, adding to compost, or chopping down and using as a nutrient rich mulch.
