Is is OK to use new compost as mulch on Vegie plants .

The compost has completed it's cycle, and is no longer hot. I have
made more this year than I really need for planting, so I was
wondering if it would be beneficial to use it as mulch??

Thanks! O'boy!

I put new compose around my Tomato plants every year and I have never
had a problem.

You might want to try it on just some plants just to make sure it is not
too rich or you could always mix it with potting soil just to make sure
you don't burn your plants.
