How To Bond With Your Plants Through Food Scrap Composting
By Vicki Duong
Who would've thought that other than singing and conversing with your plants that composting would be another great way to solidify that wonderful human-plant relationship?

Not only that, they won't decompose properly, smell real icky after a day and attract unwanted visitors like rodents. Scraps like fruit rinds, vegetables, crushed eggshells, and even coffee grounds are terrific for composting. Coffee grounds especially act as activators (they generate heat) because of the high amount of nitrogen that they turn up. The aforementioned goodies act as a buffet for itty bitty microbes, making the composting process quick, easy and effortless. (Disclaimer: by quick I mean anywhere from three to eight months).
