Using Free Compost

My local council allows us to have as much free compost as we want.

They collect all the recycled green materials ... compost it down and you can collect.

It is Black and very well rotted, masses of worms .... which all seems fine.
It is obviously not as fine & sieved as bagged compost ...

I have today added 4" of this over the ground, and will mix it in well with my Mantis ...
The Q is as this is not rotted farmyard manure it's nutrient quality is probably not high ... but it will certainly improve the soil.
Should I think of adding anything with it to improve nutrients ?

A sprinkle of Blood Fish & Bone never does any harm 

I have a 20Kg bag of that so I'll add some ... if there a recommend rate ... oz per yd or similar?

A 70g per m sq - I just add a ahndful rather than do any proper measuring 

Ta .


I will let it settle and carry out acidity test ... but will add the FB&B

I agree with Sunshine, our council send everything away for processing. I wouldn't be surprised if they sell it.

why dont all coucils do this?
