I've seen a write up of a test where tons of orange peels have been dumped and spread over big area [1]. After 16 years, ecologists returned only to find abundant flora at the areas covered with peels. Maybe to try this approach?

- mark-r 9y agoGreat idea! Only problem is the need for large quantities of bio-waste that can be economically transported to the site. This also seems like a zero-sum problem, since the soil where the orange peels were grown is probably declining in proportion to the gains it produced elsewhere.
- vitro 9y agoOf course, it makes sense only if peels or another organic material would rot in some dump area where it rots without any benefit.
