                 Compost can be used for all your planting needs. Compost is an excellent source   of organic matter to add to your garden or potted plants. It helps improve soil   structure which contributes to good aeration and moisture-holding capacity.   Compost is a source of plant nutrients.  
                Compost can also be used as a mulch material. Studies have shown that compost   used as a mulch, or mixed with the top one-inch layer of soil, can help prevent   some plant diseases, including some of those that cause damping of   seedlings.
