Compost "improves" the structure of your soil by adding organic matter.
If you have a sandy soil it will give it more substance so it will hold moisture and nutrients better to feed your plants.
In harder muddy soils it will create air cavities that allow excess moisture to drain away and allow oxygen into the soil so it and your plants can literally breathe.
Compost is the corner stone of good Organic Gardening principles, "feed the soil and the soil will feed your plants".
Either dig it in for a fast results or lay it on top of the soil and allow it to slowly break down into your soil profile.
A soil high in organic matter will always produce healthy trouble free plants.
Cheers,
Barry.
