Mulch & Soil

Compost

Rich organic compost to bring tired soil back

Short answer

Bulk and bagged compost for amending beds, building vegetable gardens and topdressing lawns. Blend one part compost to two parts topsoil for planting beds.

Compost is finished organic matter. It feeds soil biology, improves drainage in clay and water-holding in sand, and delivers slow, steady nutrition without the flush-and-crash of synthetic fertilizer.

Use it as an amendment rather than a standalone growing medium. A quarter to half inch topdressed on a lawn each spring makes a visible difference by midsummer.

Frequently asked

Can I plant directly in compost?
Not usually. Straight compost holds too much water and too much nutrient load. Blend it with topsoil.
When should I topdress with compost?
Early spring or early fall, right after aeration, so it works into the root zone.
