Turn Holiday Leftovers into Garden Gold
Transform your post-Thanksgiving cleanup into a sustainable, earth-friendly ritual with the Composting Your Thanksgiving Leftovers Checklist. This digital download is the perfect guide for anyone who wants to reduce food waste, nourish their garden, and embrace eco-conscious living. Whether you’re a beginner composter or a seasoned sustainability enthusiast, this easy-to-follow printable checklist will walk you through every step of turning your leftovers into nutrient-rich compost instead of sending them to the landfill.
What’s Inside the Checklist
- Collect fruit and vegetable scraps such as potato peels, carrot tops, apple cores, and corn husks.
- Add coffee grounds and paper filters, which are excellent compost materials.
- Chop larger scraps into smaller pieces to help them break down faster.
- Avoid adding meat, dairy, oily foods, or gravies since they can attract pests and slow the composting process.
- Balance your compost with greens (food scraps) and browns (dry leaves, cardboard, or shredded newspaper).
- Mix in leftover bread or grains in moderation—they should be balanced with plenty of dry material.
- Layer food scraps with browns to reduce odor and speed decomposition.
- Turn or stir your compost pile regularly to provide oxygen and encourage breakdown.
- Keep your compost slightly moist, like a wrung-out sponge, for best results.
