There is no point in leaving last year's supplies for next year, unless it is jam.
Summer residents are wondering whether it is possible to use uneaten vegetables or fruits prepared over the winter as fertilizer, sending the contents of the cellar to a compost pit?
The idea seems rational at first glance, but not every food will be useful even for making fertilizers.
The main criterion
Only healthy vegetables can be thrown into the compost pit. When tidying up the cellar, sort out the supplies.
And if the vegetables are not rotten, not covered with mold, scab or other fungal diseases, then everything that is not eaten can be carried into the pit.
For example, potatoes, other root vegetables, and pumpkins can go stale. Fruits rarely go stale.
But if there are the slightest signs of mold, then the supplies must be disposed of in another way.
It is also important to think about what kind of processing the vegetables or fruits underwent before storing them.
How to proceed
In order for the supplies to be useful for the future harvest, they need to be crushed - this way they will rot faster.
