Composting Tips - BAAG

Composting Tips - BAAG: "As most of us are well aware, compost is a fantastic supplement to every garden. As an addition to existing soil, compost will add nutrients, but its main advantage is that of improving soil structure. As a result, compost should be viewed as a soil conditioner, rather than a straight fertiliser. 'Healthy soil means healthy plants', so using compost to improve the soil is better than just adding fertilisers to get plants going. Compost adds body and water holding capacity to sandy soils; and opens up clay soils, especially when added in conjunction with gypsum."
