In case you’re looking for ways to make your lifestyle more eco-friendly, composting is the best way to start. Composting your food scraps is great for reducing your environmental impact and enriching your garden soil. Here are some foods that you probably didn’t know can be added to compost.
Tea Bags
If the tea bag is made from biodegradable materials you can easily compost it in your bin. You can also use teas bags as a fertilizer simply by digging them in around plants.
Wine Corks
Although it’s not a food, it’s technically connected to a drink, so we’ll allow it! If they’re actually made of cork and not plastic, wine corks are a great addition to your compost, so don’t throw them away.
Coffee Grounds
We all thrown away coffee grounds on a daily basis despite the fact that it can easily be composted or used as a fertilizer.
Egg Shells
Even though they are an animal byproduct, eggs shells can also be added to compost. Moreover, egg shells are high in calcium and potassium, which means they’re a great fertilizer that you can just crush and sprinkle around your plants.
