Fallen apples - even if they enhance fertility beds for next season!
Hello!
I do not know how in your area, and we have an apple tree is not happy with the harvest, it fills up. In the truest sense of the word, leaving their ripe and unripe fruits at our feet. By the fall of the number of volunteer reaches such a number that exceeds the needs on compote / jam / zasushku, and relatives and friends of the phrase "Do you have to apples?" It starts to twitch an eyelid.
So. Do not rush to throw windfalls. It will be a wonderful organic fertilizer. Please note, totally free. You only need a little work.
Rotten apples will go, but the risk of infection by fungal diseases - not. I advise you not to use the fruits of infected scab and moniliosis. In order to prevent) Here is a photo of infected apples:
But just spoiled apples - as possible. They will still be degraded in the soil. I bring here reader comments who is very intelligent and explains it in a scientific way):
I dug all the windfalls in warm beds and wormy and rotten and sparsah, all muck, did not hurt anything. Rot and scab - aerobic fungi in the soil anaerobic fungi which eat anaerobic! And to touch - it is better to throw out. True to mess again! So dig in and the end!

In autumn, after the harvest, dig the beds are empty, burying apples. During the winter, they decompose with the stem and seeds, saturate the soil organic matter (and in the spring it is useful to all cultures). The only caveat - apples acidified the soil, which is undesirable. Therefore, in the spring apple powder the beds ash or dolomite flour. I liked the idea? Click "Thumbs up!" Thank you, grateful reader 💕
