Eco Fruit & Veg Organic Compost questions
Q. How often should I put compost on my fruit and vegetable patch?
Ideally, you want to compost twice a year in Autumn and Spring. Make sure you spread a 2cm layer of compost all over the vegetable patch but be aware of over composting, as this can cause an overload of nutrients, resulting in potential deficiencies in the soil.
Q. What is the best time of year to use compost in vegetable patches?
Compost can be used all year round to build vegetable patches or provide nutrients. We recommend adding in compost to your veg patch in early Autumn. This gives it a chance to break down into the soil, ready for Spring.
Q. How much compost should I use on my fruit and vegetable patch?
If you are looking to improve your soil, we recommend using a depth of 2cm. To mulch your beds, a 5cm depth should be enough to keep them protected through the Autumn/Winter. To work out how much you will need, please use our free volume calculator.
