The only fertilizer with food waste as the #1 ingredient, TrashCan captures food-waste and blends it with natural materials, offering a better, more sustainable solution for your plants - and your planet. Each year more than 40% of food is thrown away in the U.S., with 65 million tons getting burned or buried. Our leftovers are the #1 contributor to methane-belching landfills. At TrashCan, we choose to contribute to the solution rather than the problem. Food waste contains the micronutrients that feed the tiny microbes that are essential to long-term soil health. Plants rely on these microbes for growth, so feeding your soil is the key to a healthy garden. Free from any ""miracle chemicals,"" our natural fertilizers provide slow-release nitrogen that feeds plants without burning them out and helps keep your soil rich in micronutrients. Our food-based fertilizer is also free from animal waste. That's right - there's no poo! Animals are remarkably good at extracting nutrients from food, which means poo lacks the soil-building ingredients that maximize plant growth. TrashCan focuses on more nutrient-rich organic matter. Currently sourced from the Portland, Oregon metro area, our food waste is found in restaurants, grocery stores, food processing facilities, and households like yours. Food that would have gone to waste can now find its way to your garden and become new food! Our all-purpose 4-4-4 natural fertilizer covers a wide variety of established or newly planted vegetables, flowers, herbs, and more. Made with 30% food waste, our balanced formula combines the best possible soil-building micronutrients with a special blend of natural ingredients for optimal plant growth. Ditch the harsh chemicals, and feed your soil with food waste to ensure the long-term health of your plants - and your planet.
