How to use our compost

  • Compost is very nutrient-rich and must be diluted before use. The nutrients in compost are so powerful that they can "burn" new seeds and plants if you plant them directly in the compost.
  • You should therefore mix the compost with the existing soil before planting anything new in it.
  • Spread a layer of compost no more than 4-5 cm thick and mix it well with the existing soil.
  • You can also spread a few centimetres of compost over your vegetable garden, lawn, or perennial beds and leave it there to fertilize the soil.
