How does it work?
The compost protects the roots from the cold weather and nourish's the soil, which causes the grass to stay greener in the fall and come out earlier in the spring. Most lawns are thicker and free of weeds, diseases and pests. With just one treatment a year you will be able to fertilize less, or not have to at all. The addition of compost to your soil will also improve water retention, so you can water less!
When should it be applied?
For maximum results you should add a 1/2" compost topdressing to your lawn in the late fall or early winter once the grass has stopped growing.
Application Instructions
The topdressing can be applied in Spring, Fall or Winter, but it is most effective when applied after the cool weather has stopped the grass from growing.
A 1/2" layer is recommended, but anywhere from 1/4" to 1/2" is beneficial. 1 cubic yard of compost will cover 650 square feet at 1/2".
The best way to spread the compost is to use a wheelbarrow to put small equidistant piles throughout the area and then to spread them evenly with a rake. It is important to water thoroughly after spreading so no nutrients are lost and it doesn’t smother the grass.
