Buy or make a compost bin. All of your fruit and vegetable scraps, stale bread, egg shells, and coffee grounds can easily be turned into nice, rich soil by throwing them into a compost bin. If you are handy with a hammer you can build your own compost bin or head over to your local hardware or garden center and buy one, like the ones pictured above. Along with kitchen waste, you can also add in dry leaves and grass clippings. Use the compost that you create in your garden next year! We filled ours up so quickly we had to get a second one!
