In the garden,finished compost improves soil structure and texture by reducing erosion,loosening clay soils and helping sandy soils retain water,which pro- motes healthy root development and plant growth. Utilize finished compost by: • Using as a mulch or decorative soil topper by adding 1 inch of compost to the top of the soil. • Tilling the compost by applying 1 to 2 inches of compost and mix into your garden soil(a maximum of 20%compost in your tilled soil).
