What is the best way to use it add to compost pile or direct to beds? 23rd October 2018 at 7:29 pm #49557 charlesModerator Yes in your compost heap, where it’s nutrients will add to the mix and be less water soluble than if you apply it to soil direct. 23rd October 2018 at 7:31 pm #49559 colinParticipant Thanks Charles Author Posts Viewing 3 posts - 1 through 3 (of 3 total) You must be logged in to reply to this topic.
