FINISHED COMPOST
USES
- Compost can be
used as a soil additive to improve moisture retention and add some nutrients.
Compost alone is not a fertilizer. Compost worked into clay and sandy
soils improves texture.
- For garden beds,
compost can be added to the entire bed or just to seed furrows or transplant
holes.
- When using around
trees or shrubs, grass should be removed from around the base. Compost
should be worked into the top few inches of soil.
- In potted plants,
compost can be 1/4 to 1/3 of the container volume.
- For lawns, compost
should be ground up and finely screened over the grass.
- Make sure the composting
process is finished before using. Unfinished compost may be harmful
to young plants.
