Compost

If you are living in a suburb or rural area, one of the easiest ways to provide rich soil for your garden is to use your garbage for compost. This form of recycling is easily overlooked, which is a shame because so much of our daily waste can be transformed into treasures for our plants. However, it should be noted that some meat, dairy, and poultry products can attract vermin when turned into compost, so the best kind of recycled fertilizer should be the remains of previous plants. Simply mix your daily waste in with a layer of soil followed by leaves and hay, and you've got your very own compost for your garden!

“One man's trash is another man's treasure.” --English Proverb
