We have been looking into different landscaping ideas and recently had a
friend suggest using compost. He suggested laying this down over the weed
barrier and then planting our flowers, trees, etc. My questions is are there
any downsides that anyone has noticed to using compost? This is made of
leaves, shrubbery, etc that has been baked and then sold. Any comments on
why you like, or do not like using this type of compost is welcome!

Thanks!
