If you’re like most people, you’re probably tossing your fruit peels into the trash bin without a second thought. Well it’s time to stop this wasteful behavior.

By adding your peels to your garden, not only will you be minimizing household waste, you will also be limiting the chemicals you need to put on your land while keeping the landscape looking beautiful.
