Why You Should Compost - Amazing Story of How Orange Peels Saved a Forest!
Amazing what happened when a juice company dumped 12,000 metric tons of orange peels and pulp in a deforested area! This is why we are such big proponents of composting...why throw away all that precious food scraps when it could be turned into beautiful plants and vegetables?!
Orange peels dumped, 1998

What a great article! Amazing that they had to try and relocate it again because it had totally grown over the original dump site!! wow!! Nature is truly amazing
Our backyard looks like this in a week when Collins doesn't work the garden, we have amazing soil! 😁
