What on this list can / can't be disposed by pouring into the ground? (freeze, plant)

[ragnarkar]

On this list, what substances are "safe" to dispose of by pouring into the garden, hopefully as a fertilizer? What isn't? I don't like to have residual smell by disposing of it in the sink.

1) Spoiled milk.
2) Spoiled fruit juices.
3) Spoiled pasta sauce
4) Spoiled cheese.
5) Spoiled meat.

I would compost it first. Won't do anything but attract pests until you do. Why is so much food spoiling?

Anything with animal protein is going to smell like a rotting carcass.

The first three I would toss in the compost pile with plenty of plant organics.

i too would be wondering why youve got so much spoilt anything...BUT any of those can be tossed onto a SECURE compost pile
the meat and cheese particularly will attract wildlife and the sausece juice and milk will absolutly attract flies...so i wouldnt be disposing it by putting it direct tno your garden, but a secure compost pile neer the back of your peorperty (down wind) or burrying it in a pit would be an option.

id also suggest buying less of the items that typically spoil on you...or freeze the extras ect...

i agree. anything plant based i wouldn't hesitate, anything animal-based i'd put in the garbage.
