Raking and watering are actions to take after applying compost to a lawn. The compost has to be raked evenly and almost invisibly into the lawn from a 0.25-inch (0.64-centimeter) yard-wide layering. It then may be watered for 15 to 20 minutes so that the compost can break down and release nutrients before resumption of weekly mowing schedules seven to eight days later.
