| | | PULP - Fruit
I have started using a juicer and am subsequently left with a load of pulp.
Can anyone suggest a use for this? Can it be used as a food source for animals / birds and, if so, how is it best presented.
I am using it to juice mainly fruit.
Cheers

I'm guessing here that juicing your own fruit is not a viable proposition. Unless you have a specific reason for doing so.
Probably best to buy juice produced commercially in bulk where economies of scale can make things much cheaper and much more efficient (e.g. transport just the juice, not all the fruit).
The waste products will no doubt be used somehow if they have any value. |

I would put it in the compost bin but not if its mainly citrus as this will cause problems of acidity. |

Hi Boddie, haven't you got any pigs to feed it to...OR....add some water, yeast and sugar and see if it will make wine.

Put a few spoonfuls out in the garden on a plant saucer and see what eats it? Probably get lots of ants, even if you put it on the compost heap.
