Soil structure: The structure of the soil is improved because compost contains organic matter, which makes the soil more porous and helps it hold more water. This can help promote better root growth and improve the overall health of your lawn.

Increased nutrient availability: Compost is a rich source of nutrients, including nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, as well as other micronutrients like calcium, magnesium, and sulfur. By adding compost to your lawn, you can replace these nutrients and increase the fertility of the soil, which will make your grass healthier and more vibrant.

Improved soil biology: Compost is full of microorganisms like bacteria, fungi, and protozoa that help improve soil health and fertility by breaking down organic matter and releasing nutrients. These microorganisms can also keep disease-causing organisms from spreading to plants and improve the structure of the soil by making holes and gluing soil particles together.

Reduced use of water: Compost can help soil hold more water, so plants don’t need to be watered as often. This helps save water resources. This is especially important in places where water is scarce or when there is a drought.

Overall, adding compost to your lawn can have a lot of benefits, such as improving the structure of the soil, making more nutrients available, improving the biology of the soil, and using less water. Adding a layer of compost to your lawn in the spring or fall can be a simple and effective way to improve soil health and promote a healthy, vibrant lawn.

In short, plants need the right amount of water and irrigation to stay healthy and grow. By knowing how much water each plant needs and using the right irrigation system, you can help your plants grow well while using less water and reducing the chance that you’ll overwater them.
