Compost and Transplants
Perhaps one of the best times to use compost, especially if the supply is severely limited, is when transplanting small plants into or around the garden. However, do not use compost either alone or in conjunction with loose soil in the planting hole when planting trees and shrubs.

How Much To Use?
Most books and articles dealing with compost simply advise you to "spread" the compost around the garden bed or around the plant. Most yardeners should consider compost as a special tool for special situations, rather than as a general amendment all over the property.

Deciding Best Uses
Whether you buy or make your own compost, it is a very valuable landscape tool. To simply spread a thin 1/2 inch layer as a topdressing over an average lawn of 5000 square feet requires something over 150 bushels of compost.

Reduces Plant Stress
Let's take a brief look at how the compost added to the soil ultimately yields sturdy, happier plants throughout the landscape. General health improved - A soil laced with sufficient humus or compost (3-5%) fosters a moderate but steady rate of root growth for most plants.

Making Compost
This involves turning the pile of accumulated yard waste every so often to introduce more oxygen into the pile and boost the activity of the microorganisms. However, for yardeners who are looking primarily for a method to deal with their yard waste the passive method of composting is best.
