Two new green initiatives help you grow your own organic food and keep garbage out of landfills

The seed and peel of that delicious Alphonso mango you just gobbled up, is not garbage. It is, in fact, fodder for growing organic veggies and herbs. Through the simple and dirt-cheap process of composting with wet waste from your kitchen, you could produce nutrient-rich compost every month that helps fruits and herbs grow lush. Besides, you will end up reducing food miles (the distance food travels from where it grows to where it is ultimately consumed), cutting down on garbage crowding the landfills, and contributing to a cleaner city.
