Does compost add nutrients to soil?
Yes, compost enriches the soil by improving its ability to hold nutrients and delivering essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. It increases the soil's cation exchange capacity (CEC), ensuring plants get the food they need for healthy growth.
Does compost lose nutrients?
Compost can lose nutrients, particularly nitrogen, if not used promptly due to leaching. Even well-decomposed compost can experience nutrient loss, making it important to incorporate it into your soil in a timely manner.
Can you put too much compost in your garden?
Yes, excessive compost can lead to high levels of soluble salts, which may cause salt toxicity. This is especially problematic in environments with minimal leaching, like high tunnels. Composted manure tends to be higher in salts compared to composted vegetative matter.
Do I need fertiliser if I use compost?
No, if you consistently use compost and maintain soil health, your plants usually won't require additional fertiliser. Compost slowly releases nutrients into the soil, providing a balanced and sustainable nutrient supply.
Which is better, compost or topsoil?
Compost is typically used as a potting soil or top-layer fertiliser to enhance existing soil, while topsoil is better suited for building up the soil level or landscape filling. Compost provides higher nutrient content and better nutrient retention than general topsoil.
