We are starting a garden this year in the Back to Eden style (I know there are several names for this type of garden, we were introduced through the BTE documentary so that's what I always think of it as) that will have a layer of
compost 4-6" thick covered by 6"+ of
wood chips (and then manure).
I will be bringing in
compost from off-site this first year, and I'm wondering if I can
spray an activated/diluted compost prep directly onto my compost layer in the garden before adding wood chips (and then sowing in it within a week), or if it needs a longer amount of time to incorporate with the compost before using, for it to be effective? Are there planetary considerations for applying compost preps?
