The large pear tree on the allotment next to mine is dropping pears everywhere, some even hit neighbour on the head, painful. People are picking them up but there are so many, and I have my own small pear tree so I don't want anymore. Seems a waste but the dropped ones are going rotten. Allotment neighbour is going to pick them all up for compost, and said I could collect some. The question is is it worth doing this. Should I dig trench/hole near my runner beans and bury the pears and some of my bad apples, or would this be a big mistake. Could put some in my compost bin as it seems to take a long time to turn to compost, a lot of grass in there. Anyone know if I will be wasting my time. It doesn't seem to say on the internet that pears are particularly good for compost so maybe I would be wasting my time.
