No room to compost? Even if you have a very small yard, you can still help divert organic matter from the landfill. Just put small pieces of vegetable and fruit peels and skins into a blender and puree with water until it becomes a liquid, slushy mixture. Then dig a small hole in the yard (or even a large potted plant) and pour the nutrient-dense mixture into the hole. Cover with soil, and the mixture will deliver all the benefits of compost to plants -- without attracting pests.
