Existing Flower Beds – Add about 1.25 cm (1/2”) of compost and work thoroughly and uniformly into the soil 15 cm (6”) deep. Water until the entire root zone is saturated.
New Beds – Add 5 cm (1”) of compost and mix to at least a 30 cm (1ft) depth, then plant and water the flowers. For best results wait 4 weeks before planting.
Vegetable Gardens – Apply about 2 cm (¾”) of compost and mix to a depth of 20 cm (8”).
*Be careful not to apply too much compost at planting time as many vegetables won’t germinate in abundance of nitrogen in the soil. For best results apply at least 4 weeks before planting.*
New Lawns – Apply 5 cm (2″) of compost and mix thoroughly and uniformly to a depth of 30 cm (1ft) before you sod or seed your lawn. Water thoroughly. For best results apply at least 4 weeks before seeding.
Established Lawns – Aerate the entire area before topdressing. Rake 1.25 cm (1/2”) of compost evenly over the area. Water thoroughly. For best results apply in early spring or fall.
Mulching Around Trees – Arrange the mulch so that water flows away from the tree trunk. When mulching, choose a coarse-textured compost to reduce weeds and provide a thick cover to the area. Blend 1 part compost to 4 parts wood chip mulch. For best results apply in early spring or fall.
Tree Planting – Dig a hole about 5 times the diameter of the root ball of the tree. Before planting, mix 1 part compost and 6 part original soil and mix thoroughly outside of the hole. Place the tree in the hole and use the compost-soil mixture as backfill around the root ball. Water thoroughly. For best results, add mulch around the tree.
