GARBAGE DISPOSAL
We NEVER put anything into the garage disposal, with the exception of meat/fish scraps. After each meal we put food scraps into a cover plastic bowl. Coffee grounds are first air dried as are high moisture fruit peelings. The large items are cut into approx. 1 inch squares. Then the Boss, once or twice a week, will bury the organic food scraps in the back yard flower beds. IMHO our earth worms are the biggest and healthiest in the neighborhood.

If you try this, be sure to keep the scraps covered. Fruit flies can become a problem very quickly. If you get fruit flies, a drop of two of bleach on the inside of the lid or cover should eliminate this problem.
