    Hi all, when is a good time to scatter compost from my compost bin? I am growing mainly potatoes & onions as well as sprouts & cabbage. Cheers

    Don't put compost on the onion bed stilllearning, the other crops are greedy feeders and will appreciate your compost but onions don't like too much nitrogen.
