Rexius: Your Landscape - Filthy Rich Garden Compost

Filthy Rich Garden Compost is an all purpose organic mulch used as an alternative top dress for flower and planting beds, or as a seed cover for new lawns and newly planted gardens. Garden Compost is rich in valuable microorganisms. It consists of 100% natural organic humus from greenwaste compost, and is for building healthy root structure in your plants.

Use Garden Compost to break up clay soils or improve water holding capacity in sandy soils. As a soil amendment, Garden Compost is a multi-purpose compost for all your planting needs. Blend equal parts of Garden Compost with native soil to create an ideal growing media your plants can thrive in.

As a seed topdress, we recommend that you spread a 1/2 to 3/4 inch layer of Garden Compost over newly seeded lawn to insulate and stablilize the seed and retain surface moisture to improve seed germination. We also recommend using Garden Compost to topdress sewn seed in the rows of your vegetable or flower garden.

When used as a topdress for lawns, aerate the soil with a plug aerator prior to a 1/4 to 1/2 inch application of Garden Compost over the surface. Back rake the compost down into the lawn and plug holes, then water thoroughly. Topdressing your lawn will improve the soil structure, reduce compaction and provide more oxygen for the grass roots. Consistent care of your soil year after year will reward you with a beautiful and healthy lawn.
