Growing up, I remember my mom always sending me out to the composting bin with a bucket full of (what I thought was) gross bits and pieces of food waste. Better than anything store bought, and, if you watch what you throw in that bin, is an organic alternative to any fertilizer or plant food you can buy at the store.
