He emphasizes the importance of buying only what you need, as over-buying can lead to food waste and unnecessary expenses.

Danny shows viewers how to set up a bokashi container and how to use the resulting compost in their garden.
As the episode wraps up, Danny shares some creative ways to use vegetable scraps that might otherwise be thrown away.
