Default Orange Peels in Garden

We see a situation differently and would like to describe it to get

from others.

We share a house with a large backyard. One corner of the backyard has a
concrete patio with two benches. One of us is concerned with plants,
gardening, conservation and recycling. That person ate an orange and
scattered nine pieces of the peel in a flower bed next to the patio. His
rationale was that the peels were biodegradable. The other of us is
concerned with rules, order and appearance. That person felt the orange
peels should have been placed in a trash can. His rationale is that the
peels are ugly.


The orange peel is good for the flowerbed and therefore, that was the best
place to dispose of them.

Have you considered a compost heap? The ugliness would all be in one place
that way.
