What to do with apple pulp
in Fruit & veg
Hi, we are making cider again after a bumper apple crop this year, which leaves us with a lot of apple pulp. I have put some on the compost heap but wonder whether, if I put it all on, it will adversely affect the resulting compost.
Our garden is big enough that we have dumped random piles of it in rough ground where it can rot down undisturbed but I thought it worth asking the collective wisdom of the forum for thoughts.
Will it be ok to compost the lot and should I mix alternate layers with something else, if so what? Or are there other things we can use it for?
All thoughts welcome
Thanks

We have voles living in the compost now, they tend to move in at this time of year so I cut down on the turning of the heap to avoid squishing or impaling one
I guess I will be ok to layer then and see how it goes
