What do I do with my kitchen scraps? Why do I freeze them? Here's where my frozen kitchen scraps go: into a flower pot with some soil!

Why?? This is my tiny little effort at composting, a tiny little effort to reduce the amount of rubbish that I throw into the rubbish bin. I first attempted composting in a closed container under the kitchen sink. As it was a closed system, I had to open it up and stir it every day to avoid anaerobic decomposition. Then I got lazy and didn't stir it for 1 week..... URGHHHH..... stink stink stink!! So the closed compost bin was banished from the house!
Eventually I started the more current system of adding kitchen scraps to a pot of soil. Initial problems of having flies was solved by burying the scraps instead of leaving them on top, like this:

How about trying out composting? You reduce the amount of rubbish and get some fertiliser at the same time!
