Etrog Composting 2025 | 5786 🍋

GrowTorah collects etrogim after Sukkot and composts them for you — a great way to practice Bal Tashchit and to help nourish the soil.

Etrog composting is a beautiful way to practice the mitzvah of Bal Taschit, which prohibits wastefulness and encourages the responsible use of resources. After Sukkot, many people have etrogim (citron fruits) that are no longer needed for the holiday celebrations. Instead of discarding them in the trash, composting the etrogim transforms them into nutrient-rich soil, keeping them in the growth cycle, and out of landfills.
