can you use too much compost?
Hi!
I'm new to serious gardening but quite enthusiastic. I recently rototilled a 20' x30' garden bed which was previously lawn. This lawn hasn't seen commercial fertilizers or weed killers to my knowledge ever. My question is even though the soil is a very rich brown color I plan to add compost. I have access to an unlimited supply of compost that the county offers free. (Even though I'm sure some of it is from grass clippings that have seen fertilizers and weed killers in the past, I'm thinking it is negligible in the end product) Can I use too much? Does compost burn like some fertilizers? If you were starting out what would you do here to build the soil? Thanks for any help!
