How can compost be used?

Gardeners tend to have three main uses for compost. Specifically, the dark brown, fresh-smelling, organic matter rich soil may be used as mulch, natural fertilizer, or soil amendments.

Improved air and moisture movement means improved well being of the soil food web below ground, and of plants above and below ground. Such are the ways in which compost may be used, be it outside wherever the need may be, or inside with houseplants.
