They're all keen!
Worms love it. Microbacteria love it. The soil loves it. Chooks love it!
But when wrapped in plastic bags and chucked into landfill - nobody loves it.
Unwanted food is like gold. Trust me!
Unless its in landfill. Decaying food sealed in plastic produces methane. Which is four times worse as carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas. Yuck, no thanks.
Well, some people hoard plastic bags to use as bin liners to dispose of food waste into landfill. Kind of compounding waste here.
Dealing with unwanted food is not a chore. Seriously, so many are lining up to have a free feed from waste. Let me introduce you...
So what? Why should an apartment dweller produce castings if there is no garden to be found?
Well, your potted plants will appreciate it.
But if they are all brown from lack of water, then they're beyond hope. But do not despair! I suggest you track down a person with backyard garden. Their eyes will light up when they hear about your worm castings.
They might even exchange nice fresh produce from their garden in exchange for the gifts from your wriggly friends.
Gold!
You can turn your foodscraps into fresh fruit and veg without having to pick up a shovel! Which is quite a feat, really. Your worms will eat everything except citrus and onions.
Less fussy than the average toddler, gotta love 'em.
Clever chooks can turn scraps into eggs. And produce valuable poo to nourish the garden, too. Backyard chickens are wonderful at gobbling up whatever you chuck at them. And they're fun to watch.
Just protect the darlings from foxes - it'll break your heart otherwise.
And check council by-laws about keeping poultry. Having them removed might break your heart too.
The compost can be a simple heap in your garden, but I advise against that as it can attract critters. And it might stink.
Best get a bin - or better still, use two on rotation.
Once you start composting, you'll be delighted at what it can gobble up. If it's organic in nature, the bacteria will feast on it. Not just foodscraps - but vacuum cleaner waste, lawn clippings and shredded paper too.
No identity thief would be able to recreate your personal documents once they've been shredded and composted.
Lining the ground with a mesh can reduce vermin entering the bin. Keeping meat wastage out also stops vermin coming to snack.
Once the compost has matured, you can dig it into your garden beds and your veggies will love it.
I especially love having something unexpected sprout from the compost itself - usually pumpkin but sometimes an avocado stone has germinated.
Overall, there are so many solutions to food garbage, it's one of the simplest ways to cut down on your garbage.

Worms!
Apartment dwellers need not despair. Lack of a garden is no barrier. A simple worm farm transforms food waste into castings that are nutrient rich and can feed the soil. It's a farm in a box!So what? Why should an apartment dweller produce castings if there is no garden to be found?
