never heard of her :( so I'll check the site out thanks
I don't bother chopping anything up, in goes orange halves, avocados, huge brassicas stalks, lemons etc and it just disappears and I do this for almost 6 months of the year as soon as a plot becomes empty and ready to work - this gives my compost bins a chance to rot down then I fill them up for the other 6 months - as you say it saves enormously on the heavy work of having to spread manure or compost - many of my beds are about 4 or 5 foot wide and the bucket full of kitchen waste I use will do for about 2 or 3 small trenches, usually about a spade's depth
I save banana skins for the roses at home, just peel, eat and drop ;D
