Compost Application - benefit!

Post by PSU4ME » April 8th, 2019, 1:18 pm

So across about 1/2 ish of my yard I put down about 16 yards of compost throughout this winter. This is the area where the soil is either poor or it get beat down on by the sun and needed some extra help with water retention/nutrients.

What I’m seeing now as things are starting to wake is the fact that the composted areas are waking up faster and are really greening up. Really cool to see how it helps.

Here is a pic of where the u treated lawn meets the composted section.

Thanks! The yard has greened up so much and much faster than any others with it so the nutrients (and the winterizer) are definitely helping.
