What can I do with all the Pulp from my juicer?

Everyone loves fresh juice, it's even better if there is no pulp inside. Kids enjoy carrot juice as much as apple juice when it's fresh and pulp free. Johns-Hopkins has a few tips here, for keeping up a healthy diet routine. 

Should I be juicing my fruits and vegetables? 
Juicing is not necessary, but can add variety to the diet and is a good way to 
consume fruits and vegetables, especially if there are difficulties with 
chewing or swallowing. Juicing also improves the absorption of some of the nutrients 
in fruits and vegetables. If you buy commercially juiced products, 
avoid those that have not been pasteurized. 

What do we do with all that pulp? Well interestingly enough the pulp left over from your fruits and vegetables are the perfect component your to your compost heap. If you do not have a compost heap, hoe the pulp right into your garden. Your plants will thank you.
