Gardeners love compost for good reason—it turns scraps into rich, black gold that fuels vibrant growth. But here’s the twist: even the best compost can backfire if it goes into the soil at the wrong time. Plants don’t just need nutrients; they need them when they can actually use them.
Miss that window, and growth slows, roots struggle, and yields fall short of expectations. Timing compost correctly transforms it from “nice addition” to powerhouse booster.
