Enriches Soil - this is a nutrient rich organic material that improves soil structure, texture, and fertility.
Increases Water Holding Capacity - Compost amended soil has better water retention properties, reducing the need for irrigation. It helps to create a porous soil structure allowing water to penetrate deeply and be stored in the root zone.
Potted Plants: Mix one part compost with 3-4 parts potting soil to aid in plant rooting
Gardens: Till the soil to a depth of 8-10 inches, apply a 4 inch layer of compost and mix thoroughly
