Can you use compost (of the variable homemade variety) as a base for
lawns? I'd rather put the compost to use (we don't have a huge plot
to make a great deal of use with it, and a second composter is already
filling up), and avoid the cost of buying in loads of topsoil. On the
other hand, I gather that topsoil, from the right supplier (i.e. not
B&Q etc) is not overly expensive, so I would rather use that (or a
mixture of topsoil/compost?) if it will provide a better result.

Many thanks in advance,

Mike

use topsoil. Compost eventually rots to nothing!
