Now that the weather is warm here in New England and we are starting to get into the garden, I am eager to get started using compost again. One of the best ways to use compost at this time, before the danger of frost is gone and before it is safe to plant, is to spread two to three inches over the planting beds. The compost will serve as a mulch and prevent the weeds from getting established. Then when you are ready to plant, all you have to do is mix the the compost into the soil as you dig to put in the plants. This saves time later when you plant and insures that you will have good soil mix for the new plants.
