How to install Compost
-
1
Test & prep
Compact subsoil if filling; uncompacted fill settles unevenly.
-
2
Spread in lifts
4-6" lifts, lightly tamped between, prevents future settlement.
-
3
Finish grade
Crown away from structures; rake smooth before seeding or planting.
-
4
Water in
A light watering helps the soil bond and consolidates the first inch.
