Here are some great tips on using Mushroom compost for your lawn or garden this spring! 

(Not all grasses will require all of the steps - follow the ones that pertain to your type of grass.)
1. If your lawn has more than 1/2 inch of thatch, dethatch your lawn first! Remove the surface debris after dethatching.
2. Mow the lawn as low as possible without stressing the grass.
3. Remove all of the grass clippings, and if you haven't already done so - the dethathing debris.
4. Core aerate the lawn. (For poor soil, consider removing the cores. If you soil is good leave them on the grass to break down naturally.)
5. Spread mushroom compost top dressing over lawn to a depth of 1/4 inch. Fill any holes with the compost.
6. Using the back side of your rake lightly brush the grass in a back and forth motion to help get as much top dressing touching the soil as possible.
7. After the topdressing is down do any planned overseeding (don't bury the seed too deep by doing it before!).
8. Remember to keep the soil moist (not too wet) until seeds have germinated if you are overseeding..
