For anything else, undiluted compost is so strong it'll burn the roots

peat, 1 part sand. This I learned the hard way, years and years ago...

Uh, oh ... guess I better go pull up the garlic and onions I planted last
fall in straight, unfinished and unaged, compost.

Yes, this does tend to segue into "and this plant, and this, and this".
Just so long as you don't plant basil, dill, parsley, thyme, sage,
echinacea, tarragon, and so on in it... I think even my mints died.
