Compost brings suitable organic materials back into productive use. It should be considered alongside the needs of the growing space, rather than treated as a solution for every soil problem.
Ask what you are using
When buying compost, ask about its source materials and preparation. Discuss whether it is appropriate for a garden, nursery or other planned use.
Match it to the purpose
The right approach depends on the crop, soil and growing system. Ask for locally relevant guidance before deciding how much to use or how to incorporate it.
Handle farm materials thoughtfully
Keep unsuitable materials out of compost preparation and use sensible storage and handling practices. If you are unsure about an input, seek advice before adding it.
