How Much Compost Do I Need?
How Much Compost Do I Need?
One cubic yard of compost covers about 324 square feet at a 1 inch depth, which is the right amount for topdressing an established lawn. For bed work, where you want 2 to 3 inches tilled in, figure closer to 110 to 160 square feet per yard depending on depth. Measure your bed or lawn area first, then decide if you are topdressing or building soil, since the depth changes the math a lot.

One of the easiest customer service experiences I've had in a long time! Mulch Mound made it so simple. After putting it off for a while, I looked at the weather and knew I needed to get to mulching ASAP before the rain came if I didn't want to wait another week. I put my order in for the next day online and they came right at 9 AM. The employee who dropped off the mulch did a great job, putting it right on the tarp I laid out, she even made sure none of it got on the yard and double checked the truck bed to make sure it all came out. The mulch was exactly what I needed and arrived right on time.

We have always spread our own mulch for the past 24 years. This was our first time with the Mulch Mound - things I liked: they have online ordering and provide a digital receipt which means you can remember how much you ordered (I always forget for the next year!), they were on time, they were able to deliver in 48 hours, they were generous with the portion (we got 9 yards and it felt like a FULL nine yards!), the driver was polite! We have ordered from reputable places, and there is always a little trash in the mulch. The mulch we recv'd from Mulch Mound had barely any... we were pleasant surprised!!! Color was great! Not to mention - the price was competitive and LOWER than other mulch places around. We will use again !! Highly recommend! Thanks Mulch Mound!
Complete Your Outdoor Project
Compost pairs well with a topsoil blend if you are building a new bed from scratch, since compost alone is too rich to be the whole growing medium. For lawns, a lot of people order compost alongside grass seed for fall overseeding, since Jeffersonville's clay benefits from that added organic matter right before seed goes down. If you are mulching on top after amending, a bark mulch on top holds moisture in over the clay base.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip
On Jeffersonville's silt clay, do not till compost in deep on a wet day. Wet clay smears and clods around the organic matter instead of blending, which locks up the benefit for a season. Wait until the soil crumbles in your hand instead of sticking, usually a few days after rain, then till your 2 to 3 inches in. Working it in dry-ish clay breaks the clods apart naturally instead of creating dense pockets.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
The most common mistake is piling compost on thick thinking more equals faster results. Finished compost is concentrated, and a 4 or 5 inch layer on a lawn can actually smother grass or tie up nitrogen while it keeps breaking down. Stick to 1 inch topdressed on turf and let it work into the soil over a season rather than stacking it deep.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Buy compost in the same order as a topsoil blend if you are filling a new bed, since straight compost is too hot and rich to be the entire growing medium for most plants. Mixing roughly one part compost to two or three parts topsoil gives you fertility without overwhelming young roots, and it stretches your yardage further on a larger bed.
Building Better Soil in Jeffersonville
Jeffersonville's silt clay soil holds water and compacts hard once it dries, which makes it tough for roots to spread and for rain to soak in evenly. Compost breaks that structure up over a few seasons, adding organic matter that lets air and water move through instead of pooling or running off. With last frost around April 20 and first frost around October 12, there is a decent window in both spring and fall to work compost into beds before planting or before winter dormancy. A lot of the yards near the river flats and older neighborhoods around Big Four Bridge are sitting on compacted fill, so this is not optional amending, it is the difference between plants that establish and plants that sit still.
What Finished Compost Is
Finished compost is organic matter that has fully broken down into a dark, crumbly material with an earthy smell. It feeds soil life, improves structure, and helps beds hold water without staying soggy.
How Much to Apply
Work 1 to 2 inches into new beds, or topdress lawns with a quarter to half inch and rake it in. More is not better. Too thick a layer can smother roots instead of feeding them.
When to Apply
Spring and fall are both good windows. Spring applications feed the growing season ahead, and fall applications break down over winter so beds are ready at first thaw.
