"Here in the South we reuse a lot of things, especially for gardening and composting. Did you know you can take the banana peel (just chop it up), dig a hole around your rose bushes (cover it back up well), and it fertilizes the bush? Egg shells too. I even save my egg shells and clean them out, bake them in the oven for about 15 minutes at 350, and you can feed this crushed back to your birds and chickens. It's a great source of calcium for them."
