You can create an effective fertilizer from kitchen scraps by composting them. Begin by breaking down the scraps into small pieces and then mixing in an equal part of soil or dry shredded newspaper. Add the mixture to an airtight bin or bag and place it in a warm location away from direct sunlight. Stir occasionally to increase air flow and moisture, add water when necessary, and keep the bin/bag closed tightly after each addition. The finished product should be well-decomposed after 3-4 months, at which point you can use it as fertilizer for your plants.

You can create an effective fertilizer from kitchen scraps by using a fermentation process. Start by shredding or chopping the scraps into small pieces, then add to a bin or bucket with soil, urine and water. Mix everything together and let the mixture sit for several weeks to a month in an warm and wet environment. The mixture should become a thick slimey consistency which can then be applied to plants as a nutritious fertilizer.
