Using Finished Compost
When handling compost, remember to wear gloves. Here’s how to apply it effectively:
Flower & Vegetable Gardens: Add 2.5 cm of compost and work it into the soil to a depth of 12 cm.
Established Lawns: For best results, aerate the lawn first. Spread 1 to 1.5 cm of compost evenly over the area using a rake and water thoroughly to help it penetrate the thatch layer.
New Lawns or Bare Spots: Apply 2.5 cm of compost and incorporate it to a depth of 12 cm.
Shrubs and Trees: Work 2.5 cm of compost gently around the base of trees and shrubs.
