Using juicer pulp to enrich soil?

Date: May 15, 2013 02:46PM I don't compost, but I was wondering if it would be helpful to my plants (indoor and outdoor) if I saved my pulp to mix in with the soil rather than throwing it away? Debbie Re: Using juicer pulp to enrich soil?

I used to spread my carrot pulp around my Rose bushes and Grapefruit tree....big mistake, as my roses are now dead, and my Grapefruit tree is dying. Far better to make a weak Compost Tea with the pulp......WY Re: Using juicer pulp to enrich soil?

Date: May 15, 2013 04:38PM Ok, thanks. So maybe I'll just do a mini-compost bin on the deck or something. I know nothing about it, but I can look it up. Or, I can just go back to putting the pulp in my smoothies. Debbie Re: Using juicer pulp to enrich soil?

Date: May 17, 2013 01:16PM I always feel bad pitching all the pulp. My sister in law tells me to use it in muffins... but I don't eat muffins, lol! I've thought about getting a counter top composter, but I'm thinking it wouldn't be able to keep up with the amount of pulp I create. Re: Using juicer pulp to enrich soil?

Keep in mind that if the filter casing allows sunlight to pass through, you can "recharge" the filter by letting it sit in direct sunlight for a few days.
