Compost works great as a soil amendment and conserves moisture. It is not fertilizer.  

If you’re growing vegetables, give your vegetable garden plenty of compost in the fall. Spread several inches of compost on top of the existing bed, then till it into the soil in the springtime.  If you missed that fall window it’s fine to apply a couple of inches in the spring and tilling in. Once plants begin to grow you can add a half-inch layer of compost around the base of the plants. 

For flowers In the spring, loosen the top few inches of annual and perennial beds and mix in a 1-inch layer of compost. Or in the fall, apply a 1-inch layer of compost as a mulch to protect plant roots from freezing and conserve moisture.  Some people prefer ocean-based nitrogen sources in their compost, we offer ocean-based compost to wholesale customers currently.
