Dispersing compost heaps as fertilizer describes the compost heap method for fertilizing. The pile may be bigger, and centrally located, for spreading the dark-colored, fresh-smelling, nutrient-rich organic matter outward over a large site to be fertilized or through successive removals for nearby sites. A small pile may be permitted to decompose in place to the benefit of the immediately underlying ground.
