@merpreb I cannot see throwing wilted lettuce, past-their-peak fruit, carrot tops into the trash. We have a multi-acre property behind us, and deer use the vacant property next door as a pass-through. Besides that, elk, skunk, fox appreciate some scraps, all thrown over to open land. The "big kitties" [cougars], eagles, hawks and kestrels are waiting for the goslings to appear soon.
