Do you have any science about chemical leaching or just hearsay?

I personally learned about it when in school to get my Certification of Horticultural Studies. But here are some to start :)

Thanks. I was considering a worm compost. I don't have a garden, but a balcony that is slowly turning into a mini-garden, so the 'normal' way of composting the kitchen scraps might not be suitable for my neighbors with the smell and all. How does the worms do with regards to the smell?

[@instargardens]

Worms aren't really a part of the smell. A smelly compost comes from one that is out of balance, typically with too much green and not enough brown or not enough worms to help break it down! Another option you might be interested in is the Lomi, a countertop composting system - lomi.sjv.io/c/3439903/1211103/15056

Do you have a video on making a homemade liquid plant fertilizer?

@@enigmaresearchteam6313 I am trying to let some kitchen scraps, mainly from uncooked salad, sit in a box for a while. I'll tell you when it's done. There's a couple of videos on YT about this.
