A couple of inches of mulch on top would be great. Remember the 30%. Molasses will speed up the breaking down of the compost. Just keep it moist. Between now and the 15th would be a good time to start your tomato's for a fall garden. Set them out about Sept 1Phew… just a quick update if anyone would like to know. I’ve done three rounds of layering a couple inches of compost (sometimes a bag of raised garden bed mix) and turn turn turned… The clumps are honestly as good as it’s gonna get for now. But I did half the work last week, and this week there’s already a monumental difference in soil structure.
I’m going to begin the molasses treatment now. @Chuck I’m assuming I should probably throw down some hardwood mulch or something while this sits in the July/august heat? Texas Native makes a really good partially broken down organic hardwood mulch.
And of course what’s a post without pics!
