Comments on: Put Your Veggie Scraps To Good Use: Compost http://nihonhacks.com/japanese-food/put-your-veggie-scraps-to-good-use-compost/ Time- and money-saving tips for easy living in Japan Sun, 16 May 2010 13:00:36 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Skye http://nihonhacks.com/japanese-food/put-your-veggie-scraps-to-good-use-compost/comment-page-1/#comment-460 Skye Fri, 23 May 2008 03:48:39 +0000 http://nihonhacks.com/japanese-food/put-your-veggie-scraps-to-good-use-compost/#comment-460 I just moved back to the centre of Japan, and found that our town has a free composting service. You have to sign up, but then you can take all your biodegradable garbage over once a week, and after some (unspecified) amount of time, you'll receive compost back for fertiliser. I believe most towns are now doing this - it's free, and a lot easier than the two bucket system (though I guess maybe that's sheer laziness on my part). Good luck with the herbs!

If you have leftover herbs, or, well, even some vegetables, like negi, you can try planting your leftovers. You know, a lot of herbs can grow from a single leaf.
