How much compost do I need to apply as a commercial grower?

Are you looking for a mulch, nutrition or wanting to build soil?

The amount of compost you apply depends on your purpose and what you want to achieve.

The range can be anywhere between 25-100m3 per hectare. If you are unsure how much compost you need, you can talk to a soil consultant or one of our team to understand application rates for your orchard.

You can learn more about what components your soil needs, how much compost you need, how often you should apply and if you should be band or broad spreading. These are all situation-specific.
