What is compost topdressing?
In many of the newer neighborhoods, the soil is not very good - compacted, rocky clay that is devoid of nutrients. Compost topdressing is the process of spreading a thin layer (1/4-inch thick) of organic material on top of your lawn to amend your soil. The topdressing is worked into the soil by rainfall or by multiple irrigation cycles. As your grass grows through the layer of topdressing, the organic material is incorporated into the soil beneath it , adding nutrients and improving soil quality.
Compost topdressing is a great way to give your lawn an extra boost of essential nutrients. Not only does it help retain moisture, but it also improves the soil quality and helps promote healthy plant growth. Compost topdressing can also help reduce weeds, aerate the soil, and improve the overall look and feel of your lawn.
