Im all about some composting. I use all my kitchen scraps too. I feed em to my worms and use the castings for tea. I believe the sap u speak of is called "leachate"I usually collect kitchen scraps put them in a pot and mix with used soil, let it compost for at least a month and put sprouts in it or trasplant directly. Use everything but onions, garlic and fruits with alot of citric acid (lemmons, oranges, ...). Also mix coffee grounds in it (used) for high N. Coffee grounds usually drop pH drastically so I buffer with CaCO3 to stabilize it.
The sap that comes out can be used as fertiliser.
