why are people putting oranges in their garden beds? wild trick or just weird?

Saw something wild at the farmers market: people tossing citrus peels all over their garden beds. At first, I thought it was just for looks, but turns out, there’s a reason. Citrus peels keep cats and bugs away. Plus, they break down and feed the soil. I tried it at home and my veggie patch is loving it. No more digging from neighborhood cats, and my tomatoes are thriving. Now I save all my orange and lemon peels for the garden. It’s such a simple thing, but it makes a huge difference. Give it a shot if you want to keep pests out and boost your plants. It’s kind of fun to see the colors out there, too. #gardening #farmersmarket #organic #gardentips
