As part of HuffPost’s “Reclaim” project, HuffPost Taste will focus the entire month of July on simple ways you can reduce food waste in your own home.

This genius solution comes from our friends over at Fix.com and it has so many benefits. It keeps food scraps out of landfills. It puts good nutrients back into the soil. And, it’ll help your garden grow.
There are do’s and don’ts to this style of composting. Check out the infographic to learn what they are and for an intro to trench composting.
