Band spreading vs broad spreading

Which compost application style is best for your growing operation?

Band spreading (or under vine spreading) acts like a mulch directly applied to your plant's roots and has better moisture retention but the release of minerals will be slower. If you broad-spread before planting crops then you will have a faster release of nutrients but be aware that if you broad-spread you will be getting microbial activity in the rows as well as under the vines which is sometimes the less desired effect.
