Look, I’m always looking for small ways to make gardening feel less wasteful – especially when it comes to the things we automatically throw in the bin without thinking twice. Orange peel is one of them, and after discovering just how many ways to use orange peel in the garden there actually are, I’ve stopped seeing it as waste altogether.
Most of us juice an orange, toss the skin, and move on – but it turns out those leftover peels can be surprisingly useful in the garden. From deterring pests to enriching compost, there are plenty of simple ways to put them to work instead of sending them straight to the landfill.
