Ifabuela could make caldo out of leftover bones, you can make compost out of your veggie scraps.
What you can toss
Tortilla bits, fruit peels, veggie stems, cafecito grounds
What to skip
Meat, dairy, anything that smells funkier than Tía Lupe’s chisme
Señora Tips:
Keep a countertop container for easy scrap-saving
Layer browns (dry leaves) and greens (scraps) like you layer your skincare
Turn it weekly, just like your tortillas
Your soil’s gonna love you for it.
Don’t Miss the Chisme!
