I did eventually start a vermicycle compost bin, which is a HUGE help, but one thing I love to do with these veggie scraps is use them again for my own personal mealtime gain before feeding them to the compost worms. This vegetable broth recipe is a super simple solution to that problem that...…Do you ever feel a little bad about all the vegetable scraps that pile up while you’re preparing a meal?
