12. How do I use the compost?

Your soilkind compost will be most effective if it is mixed into soil - this will ensure healthy and strong plant growth. Alternatively, you can spread soilkind compost on larger areas, such as raised beds or lawns, and work it into the soil with a rake or small rake. In general, you should mix compost to used soil in a ratio of 1:10. Then water the compost-enriched soil to “reactivate” the compost.

Important: Too much compost can represent an oversupply of nutrients for the plants and can also have a negative effect on plant growth. A continuous layer of compost should not be applied to the plants, as this is very rich in nutrients and can lead to over-fertilization. If the compost contains a high proportion of oils/fats, it can also lead to reduced water permeability.
