Compost is used as a soil conditioner. Compost improves your soil's structure so that it can retain moisture and hold it at the roots, where your plants need it the most. It also adds nutrients back in the soil. Adding compost to your vegetable or flower garden will help your plants' root systems grow stronger and produce more of whatever it is you're looking for.
