Old dishwashers can be really good to have in the garden, according to the gardener. It may seem strange, or even like a joke.
But the mushrooms you wash with actually have a useful function even in the garden.
Disk fungi in natural material are perfect to put in their compost, as they absorb water, which helps keep the compost fine and moist.
– Instead of throwing away old mushrooms, you can chop them up and put them in your compost. Provided they are made of natural sources such as Luffa or Cellulose, they are good to balance the nitrogen -rich materials and absorb water and keep the compost fine and moist for microbial activity, said the gardener Richard King to English Express.
A compost can also be filled with leaves, dead flowers and potato peel to become nourished that you can then spread out and put on your garden plants to improve the quality of the earth.
– A compost is good for the soil, it feeds plants with rich nutrients and is a good way to give back to nature. By composting you reduce your waste while enriching the soil with different nutrients, Richard King told Express.
However, synthetic disk sponges should not be put in their compost, as these cannot be broken down.
