The best place to put compost is in the garden, specifically on bare soil. This allows for easy integration of the compost into the soil, providing nutrients and improving the overall health of your plants. The bare soil also allows for beneficial organisms, such as earthworms, to access the compost and help break it down further.
If you don’t have access to bare soil and need to put the compost onto concrete, tarmac, or patio slabs, there is still a solution. It is important to create a layer of soil or existing compost at the bottom of the composter. This will provide a medium for the worms to spread and help facilitate the decomposition process.
I personally have found that placing compost directly on bare soil yields the best results. The compost easily integrates into the soil, and I have noticed improved plant growth and overall soil health in those areas. It also allows for rainwater to easily penetrate the compost and carry nutrients down into the soil.
However, there have been situations where I had no choice but to place compost on concrete or patio slabs. In these cases, I made sure to create a layer of soil or existing compost at the bottom of the composter. This layer acts as a bridge between the compost and the soil, allowing the worms to move freely and aid in decomposition.
The best place to put compost is in the garden on bare soil. This provides optimal conditions for the compost to integrate into the soil and benefits from the presence of beneficial organisms. However, if placing the compost on concrete or patio slabs is necessary, creating a layer of soil or existing compost at the bottom of the composter will help facilitate the decomposition process.
