Default carrot and radish tops

Before planting, I dig radish and carrots greens from
store bought organic produce. Now that my little garden
is in full swing, I am not going to be digging anything
under.

Is there any reason I can not just save these green in a
brown paper bag until after the growing season, then
dig them under? Seems like a waste to throw them away.


anything that won't regrow is good worm food.
left on the surface in your sunshine it will
dry out and then could be dug in later. no
need to save in a paper bag.

i put almost everything through the worm bins.
some things are better off being dehydrated first
(carrot tops, brocolli stems, beet tops, onion
bottoms, potato peels) everything else the worms
eventually turn into primo fertilizer...
