Ok, I assume the answer is no. But under a boil water advisory, can you use it to water your vegetable garden? What about if it doesn’t contact the fruit or vegetables?

If you just buried a banana peel, apple core, the center of the corn cob, orange peels and etc in a vegetable garden, would it decompose? How long would it take to decompose? Would it start to smell bad and attract more bugs than there already is?

Fray asked:


My sister and I are planning on planting a small vegetable garden in our yard, so far we know what to do to get rid of grass and such. But we’re worried about attracting vermin, we have a lot of mice and possum in the the summer as well as birds. The city just shut down it’s program for keeping the city free of rats and mice… and we just got rid of an infestation of mice in our house. Would this be inviting the vermin into our yard and possibly our house?

Hi everyone,

I have never had a vegetable garden before but I want to start. I would like to plant things like squash, zuchinni (spelling?), tomatoes, and green beans. I live in south Louisiana. Is it too late? Also, any tips for a newbie?
