I have a tub full of protein powder that needs to be thrown out. It is Whey based. Any benefit to throwing it in the garden, or will it harm anything? I can't say exactly what's in it because the label is peeled off.

There are organic formulators that fall all over themselves to make up tonics with all those amino acids in them. LOL. They don't benefit. But they won't hurt. But I'd compost it first.

Carnivorous pumpkins, there's an idea. Let them pack on the pounds by eating the squirrels, raccoons, neighbors dog...

What if squirrels, raccoons, neighbours dog... eat the protein and become muscular meat eating monsters? Imagine a carnivorous squirrel lurking on a tree...
Seriously, the protein is great for the soil, though it may smell a little.
