  • We moved into our new home in August, and have new carpet grass. The dirt in our yard is black gumbo with clay. When I water the lawn ...it takes awhile for it to soak in. Should I use the manure compost or the premium compost to spread on our lawn, and will this really loosen the soil? Thanks! Dolores

    Compost, Premium Compost

    Dolores,

    Since you have a clay soil it would not hurt to apply compost twice a year for the next couple of years. Over time the compost will help to loosen the soil, you can also spray the soil with Medina Soil Activator to help break up the soil. Don't forget your spring fertilizer application when you compost.
