Do not plant directly into compost. Compost should be blended with soil, and or non-compost amendment such as peat moss. City of Lethbridge Coulee Compost is a Category “A” product, produced under quality control methods meeting Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment (CCME) standards and guidelines.
Enriches Soil: This is a nutrient-rich organic material that improves soil structure, texture, and fertility.
Increases Water Holding Capacity: Compost amended soil has better water retention properties, reducing the need for irrigation. It helps to create a porous soil structure allowing water to penetrate deeply and be stored in the root zone.
Potted Plants: Mix one part compost with 3-4 parts potting soil to aid in plant rooting.
Gardens: Apply 2 cm of compost over planting area and mix thoroughly into 15 to 20 cm depth once a year at planting.
Lawns: For established lawns, apply a 1-3 cm layer of compost once a year and water well. For new lawns, till 10 cm of compost into 20 cm of soil.
Trees and Shrubs: Lay 2.5 cm of compost around trees 30 cm away from the trunk past the drip line. Use a 5 cm layer for shrubs. Apply once a year.
Wear protective gloves and goggles, and wash hands well after use. If on skin, wash with water. Take off contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. If in eyes, rinse continuously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present. Keep out of reach of children.
