    Hi Again

    When is the best time to apply or dig in the compost from the heap at the allottment dig in now while I am digging up the potatoes, dig in later in the autumn when I turn it all over or lightly dig in in the spring.

    Thanks

    Dave

    I don't have much bare ground until late autumn and then I simply spread the compost on the surface and let the worms drag it in and finish the job with a light forking in spring. I keep a few bags stored over winter for putting into pea and bean trenches in spring.
