The Benefits of Compost
A number of factors play an important role when renovating your lawn. One of the most important factors could be the usage of compost. The best time to repair a lawn would be spring or fall. A well-kept secret is to add compost to the lawn after over seeding. It is preferred to apply it after you over seed so that the seed stays moist and it does not become bird food. About an inch of compost would be appropriate to get best results. Compost is also most effective when apply after you aerate as well. Here are some benefits of compost:
· Top dressing combined with core aeration can place organic material deeper into the soil. It can actually change the soil structure.

· Compost contains lots of organic nutrients, which helps reduce the need to use chemicals in your lawn.
The cool spring season is full of potential since we have spring rain and sunny days. Seed germinates about 3- 6 weeks after being laid on the lawn. Aerating and over seeding are recommended together. Keep in mind that the use of weed control should be avoided for 4 weeks prior and after over seeding. It is also just fine to fertilize after top dressing. Nutrients from compost are released slowly from microbial activity, so the fertilizer could give your grass some immediately available nutrients.
