Amazing what happened when a juice company dumped 12,000 metric tons of orange peels and pulp in a deforested area! This is why we are such big proponents of composting...why throw away all that precious food scraps when it could be turned into beautiful plants and vegetables?!
Orange peels dumped, 1998
The trees on the left are the orange peel area verses the area on the right after 16 years!!
