Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

I use a Vitamix (type of super charged blender) that pulverizes almost
everything including chicken and fish bones, banana peels, artichoke
leaves, corn cobs and melon rinds.  I fill the container with kitchen
scraps, add water, blend, dig a small depression in the compost pile and
pour the blended material in the center and cover with compost.  I can
also pour this blended material directly around plants (tomatoes and
roses, especially), cover with mulch and let it compost directly in the
ground.  These methods have been successful for me and I never have to
use any other fertilizers on my vegetables or roses.
