It is known that for long-term storage it is recommended to pick apples directly from the tree, but the fruits cannot always “wait” for us.
Therefore, a significant portion of apples may be lost.
However, there are at least three excellent ways to use fallen fruit, says landscape designer and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert for the online publication BelNovosti.
Which of them are considered the most suitable?
Consumption
Sometimes even good apples, which do not show the slightest trace of rot or disease, fall off. Yes, you cannot save the fruits, but you can either eat them right away or prepare a delicious dish based on apples.
Compost pit
Most often, fallen fruits are used as an excellent component for a compost pit. Therefore, you can safely use berries to improve the quality of compost.
For currants and raspberries
Not everyone knows that fallen apples, along with other plant waste, are used for trenches near berry bushes.
Currants and raspberries respond best to this fertilizer.
