Ingredients
Nantucket Gold Compost™
Shredded leaves, straw, or wood chips
Water
Directions
Spread 1–2 inches of Nantucket Gold™ Compost evenly over the soil surface.
Keep compost 2–3 inches away from plant stems.
(Optional) For longer-lasting mulch, top compost with 1–2 inches of leaf mulch, straw, or wood chips.
Water lightly to settle.
Timing
Spring: wake up soil and retain moisture
Mid-season: protect soil during heat and drought
Fall: rebuild organic matter and protect soil over winter
Why it works
Compost feeds soil microbes and improves structure at the surface, where soil life is most active. A light mulch layer on top slows evaporation and extends the benefits through the season.
