They noted that rotten apples should not be thrown away, as they can be an excellent natural source of nutrients for plants in your garden. They recommend using them to fertilise trees, shrubs and other plants.
How to fertilise plants with rotten apples:
- Dig shallow furrows around trees, bushes or other plants. The depth can be about 10-15 centimetres.
- Chop up the rotten apples and distribute them in the prepared furrows.
- Sprinkle a layer of soil mixed with humus over the apples. Then cover the area with a layer of straw, sawdust or fallen leaves.
This method helps to increase the yield and immunity of plants. It is especially effective for currants, gooseberries, raspberries and fruit trees.
This approach to the use of rotten apples not only helps to utilise excess fruit but also helps to restore soil fertility.
