Hi, there!

If you're thinking about compost, good idea. Kitchen scraps work great,
but don't use protiens or fatty foods - meats, cheeses, etc. - the fat
will go rancid and rotting meat stinks - and attracts flies and
varmints. Mix your compost with grass clippings or soil, so you don't
just end up with rotting sluge in the dirt. Also, consider testing the
pH of your soil - a pH kit for swimming pools will do fine. You'll be
amazed what a difference it makes in the quality and texture of your
soil.
