I have been composting almost all of my vegetable scraps for quite a few years now.
And have been even more diligent with it since adding more potted plants to my expanding patio garden.
Apart from the really lush Bird's Nest Ferns and Crinum Lilies, one of the other plants that have shown amazing growth spurts is this Japanese Bamboo or Dracaena surculosa punctulata.
Looking at the leafy plant in the above picture, if you follow the line of the support pole to the top, you can vaguely see the bamboo-like cane that's shot right up to the roof.
I've been wondering..... how much taller is this going to grow to?
And recently, I've also noticed a few new spears sprouting out from the soil.
Am curious if those will be as tall?
I guess I'll find out soon enough!
Meantime, the task of composting all the vegetable scraps continue in earnest.
After all, it's a great way to reduce the amount of trash you chuck out into the bins and it doesn't take much effort at all.
The only thing you need to do is put aside all the vegetable scraps when you are preparing meals. And I mean garlic skins, onion skins, carrot peels, broccoli stems, vegetable stems..... the list is endless!
Even better, save these vegetable scraps for making vegetable broth before you chuck them into the compost!

These plants are certainly loving all the food they're getting!
Happy gardening.
