Gardening Tips: Utilizing Apples & Pears in Composting
Gardening enthusiasts will find useful tips in a recent blog post by Anna Weber on the Zen platform, titled 'Unser Bauernhof'. The article focuses on the proper utilization of apples and pears in composting, ensuring a rich and healthy soil for your garden.
To begin, Weber advises checking the fruit for signs of rot or disease before adding them to the compost bin. Once approved, apples and pears can be used to create excellent fertilizer by spring. However, she warns against exceeding 30% of the compost pile with rotten fruits.
For a beautiful geranium bloom, mix 6 tablespoons of a specific solution with 1 liter of water. To balance acidity and add nutrients, especially when using many rotten apples, Weber suggests adding ashes to the compost. Additionally, pouring a urea solution over the fruit can help prevent disease spread.
Autumn pruning of grapevines requires a specific scheme to protect against harsh winter freezes. October pruning should be done differently than usual. Weber also recommends covering the apples and pears in the compost bin with grass and soil.
