Recycle food waste

By the time you have peeled a potato, trimmed the carrots, removed leaves from the cauliflower and used some eggs, you have created a fair amount of food waste in your kitchen.

For many years, this waste was just thrown in to the rubbish bin with plastics, metals and other rubbish, but there is a much better option. Of course, this option has always existed but it hasn’t always been encouraged or talked about as much as it is now.

Recycling food waste reduces the amount going to landfill and can return nutrients to the soil so it makes sense. But how do you recycle food?

You can either give the scraps to the worms to eat in a worm farm - they will produce plant-perfect food and liquid fertiliser for you - or put it into a compost bin to top up your garden beds.

We will cover both options in greater detail soon :)
