Q: I saw an article online where you mentioned applying a thin layer of compost to the lawn each spring. I have used compost to mix with soil when planting perennials, and it has a very wet and almost clay-like consistency. Perhaps this is because the compost is stored in bags that are piled on top of one another on a pallet.

I am wondering if compost can be applied to a lawn with a fertilizer drop spreader. My spreader has a wide range of adjustments and bars inside the hopper that spin with the wheels to break up clumpy fertilizer.
