Main Uses for Compost
Soil Amendment & Sod Preparation
For best results, till 2-3” of SoilBuilder® into sandy soils before planting. Top dress garden with up to 1/2” a month and lightly mix into soil.
Summer and Winter Mulch
Spread 2-4” SoilBuilder® or Premium Mulch around plants and trees, keeping it away from the base of trunks.
Lawn Top Dressing
Sprinkle about 1/4” of BioFine® over lawn in the spring and fall to supply up to half your lawn’s nutrient needs and to protect it from disease.
Seed Starter
Sprinkle up to 1/2” SoilBuilder® or BioFine® over grass or wildflower seeds to keep moist.
Potting Mix
Mix 1-2 parts SoilBuilder®, BioFine® or Premium Mulch, 1 part vermiculite or perlite, and one part fertile soil.
Compost Tea
Compost tea is a great nutritional “drink” to give to your plants. To make the tea, put 5 or 6 shovels full of compost in a burlap bag. Submerge bag in a 50-gallon container and let steep for 2 to 3 days. Apply tea directly to the soil in the garden or around desired plants.
