QUESTION: Can I compost if I don’t have a garden? I’m not really a gardener, but I hate to throw away kitchen scraps. Rich M
ANSWER: Yes, everyone who cooks at home should compost if possible, as excess wastes quickly fill up landfills and composting is one way to help the environment by cutting down on waste. Compost can be used to fertilize more than just garden soil as well.
You can use compost to fertilize lawns and houseplants too, as well as trees, bushes, and flowers. If you live in an apartment complex and don’t have any outdoor resources which can benefit from your composting efforts, you can always give your compost away to a gardener friend, or a neighbor who has a need for extra compost to amend their garden soil.
