Can I use Compost in my Garden and/or Landscape Beds?

Does Compost have an odor?
To say compost is free of odors is misleading. Although, cured compost will be free of odors but during the composting process, odors are sometimes offensive.
Will Compost eliminate weeds, completely?
No. Compost will not completely eliminate weeds from your life. However, compost will help reduce weeds naturally for an extended period of time.
What is the best way to spread Compost?
The best way to spread compost or topdressing is to use the "Eco-Lawn Applicator". The Eco-Lawn Applicator has a controllable throw-wheel giving plenty of control over how far out the compost/topdressing will be thrown. CSI Natural happens to be the only Distributor in Florida. If you have questions, please read more about the "Eco-Lawn Applicator".
