Who here repurposes food waste? Composting, new dishes, or other methods.
Just started composting food scraps. Thought it would make our kitchen smell like rot, but I barely notice it.
Composting kind of I put it in a blender with water and dump it on the garden.
I was big into composting during the pandemic but slowly stopped as I got busier around the house. In short, we set aside a bin for food scraps (excluding protein, dairy, citrus) and on a weekly basis I’d dump it into a rotating cylinder. Add dry yard waste, some water, and spin 2-3 times per week. Net: black gold!
Yep. Onion skins, avocado stones, black bean water etc. —> Natural dyeing. The first two contribute to this (with iron/gallnut for the grey).
The 🥩 steak ➡️ stir fry 🥦 ➡️ fried rice 🍚 pipeline
i use leftover eggshells for the soil in my garden
I did in Colorado, kinda in Seattle, do not in Oklahoma (they don’t even have recycling 😔)
Left over ingredients are just a reason to experiment! Sometimes you need the compost - along with all the other things that can be composted because East Bay runs an industrial composter🤙
I wish I could, but is it even possible in an apartment?
If you have any garden space I can very much recommend chickens. They like virtually everything plus you get eggs.
