Mint compost is excellent for providing moisture retention in sandy/dry soils while rich in natural humus to help break up hardpan clay soils. Mint compost may also be used as a mulch top dressing around shrubs and in other garden areas. When used with Roses, Mint Compost is a natural agent that helps repel aphids, spider mites, and other damaging insects.
Spread the compost evenly for efficient use of the nutrients. One 5 lb bag is enough for five roses, or using as a top dressing in containers or around the plant.
