Here's how we do it in three easy steps:

Step Two - Use our Compost Calculator to help you determine the Depth and Total amount of Nantucket Gold Natural Compost.
Step Three - Place Order and select time for pickup.
Step 1
(Measure your Area)
Determine the appropriate compost application depth for your project. The general rule of thumb is 1/4 to 1/2 inch if applying to the top of the soil and 1 to 2 inches amended to 6 to 8 inches when amending into the soil. Recommended maximums are 25% to 30% compost in a soil blend, but no more than 25% compost in containers or raised beds.
New Lawns:
Incorporate 1-2 inches of Nantucket Gold Natural Compost to a depth of 6-8 inches into existing soil before seeding or sodding.
Gardens:
Apply 1 to 2 inches of Nantucket Gold Natural Compost and incorporate into the existing soil to a depth of 6-8 inches.
Established Lawns:
For topdressing and over-seeding, apply a 1/4 to 1/2-inch layer of Nantucket Gold Natural Compost before or after aerating the application site. For patching bare spots or when spreading under established trees and shrubs, apply a 1/4 to 1/2-inch layer and rake in.
Raised Beds:
Method 1: apply 1-2 inches of Nantucket Gold Natural Compost and incorporate to a depth of 6 - 8 inches.
Method 2: Fill the bed with 30% to 50% Nantucket Gold Natural Compost with native soil to create planting bed.
Trees and Shrubs:
Dig a hole the same depth as the root ball and two to three times as wide. Mix up to 25% Nantucket Gold Natural Compost with 75% soil saved from the planting hole. Place the plant in the hole and apply amended soil around the root ball. Firm the soil as the hole is backfilled and water thoroughly.
Step 2:
(Use our Compost Calculator to Determine Depth)

1. Enter dimensions of application area in whole numbers (LXWXD)
Length (in feet) x Width (in feet)
