Texas Pure topdressing is Texas Pure compost that has been screened to a smaller, 1/4 inch particle size. Spread a 1/4 to 1/2 inch layer of Texas Pure topdressing over your lawn each spring and fall and lightly water it in. Topdressing slowly releases nutrients into your lawn, replaces depleted organic material and adds beneficial life to the soil, resulting in a healthier looking landscape. 
WAYS TO USE TEXAS PURE TOPDRESSING
Garden and Landscape Beds
 |
New landscape beds: spread a 4 to 6-inch layer of compost on top of the soil and till to a depth of 8 to 10 inches |
|
Existing beds: spread a ½ to 1-inch layer of compost on top of the soil. If possible, till to a depth of 2 to 4 inches. |
Trees and Shrubs

Apply finished compost at least once a year. Spread a 1 to 2-inch layer of
compost under the tree or shrub, starting about 4 inches from the trunk and extending out to the “drip line”. |

Compost may be added to potting mix in 1:4 or 1:3 ratios. |
