A hole for composting is no different than a trench for composting. Long before it was “the” thing to do, my mother would make a trench along side a garden row, where she placed whatever kitchen scraps etc she had. Time and nature took care of it all. Her trenchs were four inches or so deep, four or five inches wide and she covered the scraps with the dirt she had just moved to create the place to put the scraps. Worked very well.

That’s a GREAT way to compost.

“...will my yard survive?”

Of course it will! But as soon as the Lefties figure out how to tax us on each tomato we produce for our OWN benefit...I’m not sure how long America will survive. ;)

I’ve thrown Plenty-O-Scraps into the western windbreak line of our HUGE Norway Spruce over the years. (They were planted in 1906; they appreciate ANY scrap of nutritional kindness that comes their way.)

And I NEVER waste a banana peel. Either the hens will eat it or I blend it up with some water and feed it to my rose bushes. :)

Nature wastes not a thing...though I’m thinking in Real Life, Nature doesn’t usually find a banana peel on her back in southern Wisconsin, LOL!
