Using compost when planting and replanting perennials gives excellent results.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert of the online publication BelNovosti, agronomist and landscape designer, is convinced of this.
As evidence, the specialist cites the fact that it is almost impossible to overdo it with compost because the organic fertilizer acts gently and beneficially.
This distinguishes compost from manure, which can burn plant roots.
For daylilies, hostas, peonies, astilbes and other plants, add compost to pre-prepared holes.
The amount of fertilizer should be sufficient to last for several years.
Compost will also come to the rescue of those who grow phlox. In this case, the composition is used during autumn mulching, since the superficial root system of these flowers can suffer from the cold.
To warm up the soil for phloxes, you can even sprinkle them with half-decomposed compost: the fermentation processes occurring in it will warm the soil, and by spring the plants will already have fertilizer “at hand”.
