Most of the content that we have provided has focused on how to create compost, but what are you supposed to do with it once you are done? We have you covered. Below are several ways that you can use your finished compost to grow strong and healthy plants.
Incorporate compost into your new gardens.
Add and incorporate 1-2 inches of mature compost in the top 6-8 inches of soil.
Use compost to improve your seedling starts.
Screened compost reduces soil crusting and allows easier seed emergence. Microbes in compost also act to reduce pathogen activity and develop stronger seedlings.
Use compost to “refresh” your potted plants.
Adding 1/4 to 1/3 compost to your potting mix will aid in moisture retention, avoid crusting and improve aeration.
