This video puts one of my favorite life hacks to the test! We bury kitchen scraps in the garden, check on them midway through the composting cycle and see what kind of soil biology the kitchen waste brings into our garden soil. You'll never throw away kitchen scraps again after watching this!

Burying kitchen scraps, also known as trench composting, is a way to add nutrients to your garden soil over time. Insects and microbes that live in the soil compost the waste and turn it into organic fertilizer for your garden. But how long does this process take? We put it to the test and give only 20 days for nature to work its magic!
