How do different compost textures impact my spreader's performance?
I'm currently experimenting with various homemade compost blends in my garden, which is nestled in a charming part of Dublin. Over the years, I've developed a keen interest in the properties of native plants, and I'm trying to enrich my soil with the right organic materials. I've noticed that some of my batches turn out quite crumbly, while others are more like a dense muck. In past attempts, I've used my spreader for both types, but I'm unsure if the texture plays a significant role in how evenly the compost is distributed. For instance, do clumpy textures clog the spreader, or does it just depend on the spreader design? I'm particularly keen on ensuring that my native species receive the most benefit from the compost. Can anyone provide insights on how the varying textures of compost affect the performance and efficiency of a compost spreader? Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!
