How to use your scraps again (and again)

I throw scraps, peelings & leaves from well-scrubbed carrots, celery or other suitable veg in a container in my freezer (fine for a couple of weeks without blanching) to add when making stock (https://www.marthastewart.com/949654/vegetable-stock).

And I use a cheap blender on my other scraps (and the cooked veggies that are strained off after the stock is made) to make a ‘scraps smoothie’ that gets poured directly on the garden (it’s liquid, so doesn’t attract animals). Avoid banana & citrus peel though, as your blender probably can’t handle it.
