Gardeners sometimes don’t know what to do with fallen rotten blocks: get rid of them or use them in the garden and vegetable garden.
Some summer residents send fallen fruits to compost. The chemical composition of apples really enriches the compost, making it even more useful. However, there are nuances that it would be useful to know.
Which apples should not be put in a compost heap
There are different types of fallen apples. Some apples fell due to abundance or wind, others may end up on the ground, being affected by fungi or bacteria.
Such fruits differ from healthy apples in both size and appearance. They can start rotting while still on the branch.
These fruits should never be included in the compost, otherwise they will become a source of infection and make the compost unusable.
Fungi and microbes are very tenacious, and the nutrient medium of compost is a godsend for them. Fertilizer contaminated with fungi gets onto the beds, which allows diseases and pests to spread safely throughout the entire garden.
To prevent such a situation, before storing fallen fruits, they must be inspected to ensure that diseased and rotten fruits do not end up in the compost.
