Compost really is a gardener’s dream. It helps to enrich our soils with nutrients and microorganisms, build structure and aid in water and nutrient holding capacity. The addition of compost to sandy soils will help to bind it together, and by adding it to heavy clay soil you’ll introduce worms that help to break up and free the soil.
