6 Kitchen Scraps to Use in the Garden Even if You Don't Compost
If you’re already composting (be it on your countertop, in your backyard, or squirreled away in the freezer), good for you! Composting, while very advantageous for the environment and our kitchen scraps, is sometimes a hard hobby to get into. If you haven’t yet picked it up, but are looking for ways to reduce your kitchen waste, look no further. There are plenty of ways to use your leftovers in your garden, from organic pest deterrents, to yellow jacket traps, to ground covering that prevents weed growth. Read on for some of our favorite scrap -lications.
Eggshells
Use eggshells as seed-starter pots. (You'll want to plan ahead for this one and crack the eggshells close to one end to maximize "pot" size.) When your seedlings get big enough to plant, thin them as needed by keeping only one or two of the strongest-looking seedlings, gently crack the eggshell, and plant the whole thing (eggshell and all) in your garden.
Save your eggshells for the birds. Seed-eating birds need grit to help them digest their food; plus, eggshells give them an added benefit: Calcium. The Cornell Lab of Ornithology recommends baking
Quick and Crispy Healthy Zucchini Fritters
Ingredients
• 1 large zucchini
• 1 medium carrot
• half of a medium onion
• 2 eggs
• few garlic cloves or few garlic leaves (optional)
• few green chilies
• 1 cup flour
• 1/4 tsp of garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp of onion powder
• 1/4 tsp of ground pepper
• salt to taste
• 1/4 tsp of turmeric powder
• 1 tbsp of oil

eggshells in the oven for 20 minutes at 250° F to sterilize the eggshells (if you’re using eggshells from hard-cooked eggs you can skip this part). Let the eggshells cool, crush them into small pieces, and then set them out for the birds on a dish or a platform feeder.
Use them as a pest deterrent. Some gardening sources recommend sprinkling crushed eggshells around plants to discourage slugs and snails. If you have a lot of eggshells on hand and don’t have a major slug infestation, this might be worth a try. In The Truth About Garden Remedies: What Works, What Doesn't, and Why, author Jeff Gillman recommends creating a ring around plants with crushed eggshells that is at least 1/4-inch thick and 2 inches wide. (But, if you have a serious slug issue, he also notes that you’ll have more success repelling slugs with diatomaceous earth.)
Use eggshells as fertilizer they'll add calcium to your soil. Crushed eggshells can be added to holes when planting seedlings in your garden, or you can work eggshells into the soil around plants in an already planted garden Gillman recommends using 4 or 5 eggshells per plant. And bonus: This same method is also suggested as a way to stave off blossom-end rot in tomato plants.
Coffee grounds
Coffee grounds can be used to set up a slugdeterring barrier, just as the eggshells were above.
Used coffee grounds can be used as mulch in the garden to repel cats, rabbits, and squirrels. Although The New York Times One Thousand Gardening Questions and Answers book cautions that this treatment might repel you, too: “Few elements of vegetable garbage are as garbagysmelling as week-old wet coffee grounds.”
For a less-aromatic option, work the grounds into the soil. The above-mentioned New York Times book says used coffee grounds are “especially welcome around onions, lettuce, corn, and other nitrogen lovers.”

If you don't want to put them directly in the soil, The Alternative Kitchen Garden suggests adding the grounds to water, and then water your plants with the nitrogen-rich water.
Banana peels
Organic Gardening Magazine (now relaunched as Rodale's Organic Life) uses banana peels to make a yellow jacket trap with other ingredients you likely already have on hand: water, sugar, and apple cider vinegar.
Bury small pieces of banana peels around plants, only an inch or two deep, to repel aphids. The key words here are “small pieces” don’t get lazy and bury whole peels, unless you want to start attracting larger pests. You can bury small pieces of banana peels in your soil even if you don’t have a pest problem: Banana peels will add nutrients to the soil as they decay.
Ann Gibson, a.k.a. the Micro Gardener, feeds banana peels to staghorn ferns. Place a banana peel (or a piece of a peel) between the fern and the backboard the fern is mounted on, it will gradually release nutrients over time when it is watered. If you’re not keen on tucking banana peels into your houseplants, she also suggests soaking a fresh banana peel in water for a day or two and then using that water to water the staghorn fern and other plants.
Orange peels
Scatter small pieces of orange peels around garden plants, they will act as a cat deterrent. Orange peels work as a pest deterrent, too: Either shallowly bury small pieces of peel around plants or sprinkle shredded or grated peels around plants to repel aphids and ants.
If you have a fire pit, you can use dried orange peels as an aromatic fire starter. Our friends at Apartment Therapy recommend spreading the peels out on a sheet pan or cooling rack and
letting them air dry.
Orange peels work as a mosquito repellent, too. If you’re into citrusy fragrances, rub peels directly on your skin (the outside of the peel, as you’re trying to get the oil on your skin). Otherwise follow Apartment Therapy’s lead and use small pieces as refill strips for mosquito repelling devices.
Nut Shells
If you’re a habitual peanut- or pistachio-eater, save those nut shells for something other than dumping in the trash. They can be broken up into pieces and used as a thick layer that protects against weeds popping up.
Mixing nut shells in with your soil can also help aerate otherwise compact soil.
Cooking Water
Don’t dump the water you used to boil an egg or blanch a vegetable save it, let it cool, and fill up your watering can. Your plants will thank you, and so will the greater earth, right?
Spicy Peppers, Garlic, and Onion
Save these potent scraps for warding off pests in your garden. There are many ways to prevent insects, deer, rabbits, and the like from attacking your backyard crops, but one of the most commonly recommended ways is spraying spicy or harsh flavored spray onto your plants, which can be made by infusing water with the spicy stuff.

TAURUS (Apr. 21-May 20)
A sudden final decision can emerge based on what might be better to let go. Finances come under the spotlight over the next month. You could now realise what might be a better use of your money. This could include cutting back on expenses that are aligned with enjoyment rather than necessities. It is time.
LEO (July 23-August 22)
Social activity can suddenly pick up, so go ahead and enjoy yourself. There can be a lot more contact with friends over the next month, probably because of your birthday. Focus on finances will be the case to mid August. This would not be the best time to make any long term decisions. Get the details and carefully consider them.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
Mars has just moved into your sign where it will remain until 5th September while generating the start of a new 2 year personal cycle. Your energy level should lift as well as your self confidence. You can recognise what might be better let go, enabling you to put something in place that will result in balanced benefits in some way.
VIRGO (August 23-Sept.22)
SCORPIO (Oct.23-Nov21)
What others expect from you could become very changeable over the next month. You are better to take on responsibilities that you can have some control over rather than accepting what might be put your way. That way you will know where you stand. There could be a first stage of rethinking your priorities up to mid August.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.18)
There could be a major turning point with somebody else, giving you a better view of what they are really all about over the next month. There can still be a degree of secretiveness where their ideas are concerned to mid August but you will be afforded the opportunity for more open discussion after that. Think about your own enjoyment.
Mercury, the planet of thought and communication, as well as your ruling planet, moves into your sign until 15th August for its first stay. Don’t expect to be able to finalise any discussions or decisions before September, as unforeseen changes can arise in between time. You need to seriously consider any obligations attached.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov.22-Dec.21)
Much activity involving others can take place over the next month. There could be a dominating or adventurous streak about them. For this reason you need to think carefully about the manner in which this can impact either current personal obligations or those that may be expected of you. There is no need for final decisions just yet.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
The ability to get things restructured especially when it comes to home and/or family matters is possible over the next month. You could find they will now start to be more open with their ideas to mid August. This is just a first stage though, so keep this in mind. There can be more details to consider before final decisions can be made later.
CANCER
(June 21-July 22)
Something could become obvious when it comes to somebody else and what cannot materialise in the future. Finances are likely involved. It may make you realise that having control of your own finances is the only way to go. There can be information to gather up to mid August. Look at this as being the first stage – final decisions will come later.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct.22)
Turn your attention to what you want in the future over the next month and away from the expectations of others. Establish priorities that you feel will generate a peaceful process in your life. Exactly how to fulfil this might need to be thought out in stages, when you have quiet time to yourself – the first one being now to mid August.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22-Jan.19)
The second Full Moon has just occurred in your sign, though this one can shine the light on something that needs to be let go, especially if it has had a drifting quality to it. Now is the time and over the next month to get on with little jobs and details that have been put to one side of late. Also to get back into exercise if you have been lazy with that.
ARIES (March 21-April 20)
You could come to a final decision aboutsomethingthatyounolonger need to spend money on, especially if other expenses have recently been coming up. You could begin to see different ways of enjoying yourself. There can be a lot to think about over the next month as well as much running around. It can be a lot of fun.
