I am sick of throwing away my vegetable and fruit peels and other excellent composting items in the trash. I don't have any planting space, so I don't need compost, but am more than happy to give compost to people with a garden!

When I was in a house with garden, I used to put all my veggie and fruit peels in a box with earth at the bottom, peels in the center, more earth and crushed egg shells on top to prevent pest from ruining the whole thing. It worked wonders and there were even plants growing in the box!

If anyone wants it, I can set it up and if you don't live too far, I can even deliver the box!

Hi Luis, thank you. Any tips for good compost welcome. Is panchagavaya also used as a natural pesticide?
