How to reduce kitchen waste:
one// freeze scraps and donate to a local farm.
two// use scraps to make a homemade veggie broth.
three// compost scraps for garden fertilizer.
I want to share with you one of my favorite household tools. I recently got to try out the Vitamix FoodCycler FC-50 for a few months, and it's easily become the star of our kitchen. The FoodCycler takes our everyday food scraps and transforms them into nutrient-dense fertilizer for our garden. All with the touch of a button!
Since we rent our home, we aren't able to create a compost area in our backyard, but the FC-50 helps solve this problem! It stores easily on our counter (just 1 cubic foot) and it's equipped with a carbon filtration system to help eliminate odors. The FoodCycler is also super easy to use and extremely convenient. With our busy, outdoorsy lifestyle, we aren't home much during the day, so we run our FoodCycler in the evenings, and when we wake up, we have fresh fertilizer for our mini container garden.
You can either use the fertilizer right away, or during the colder months, you can freeze it in an airtight container until gardening season starts! The FC-50 is currently $100 off until Monday (while supplies last). You can check out my stories for more info on this useful household tool for eliminating food waste! #Vitamix #VitamixFoodCycler
