Zone 5A, Rhode Island, Very sunny lot.

Does anyone have experience topdressing their lawn with compost?
Can I do it now? Does it help? What should I know???

I've got a typical builders lot with typical lousy soil I've tried
to amend over the years. Tilling the lawn is out of the question.
I've read that applying a topdress of compost would really help
the
soil.

Opinions, thoughts, advice please. I am also trying to switch to a
more organic fertilizer program as well, so any help would be
appreciated.

Thank you for your time.

My Dad would say till it and annual Rye for a few years. Turned in.
I'd say shrink it and plant perennials. My wife would say the kids
needed a lawn but just as long as the impatients prosper OK. My
kids
say why not a larger path to the grill. My UPS guy says can I have
a
few of your plants .

Bill who is sort of going towards more arable.

arable
adj : (of farmland) capable of being farmed productively [syn:
{cultivable},
{cultivatable}, {tillable}]

Hahaha, you gave me a great idea! Thanks!

Have you had a professional soil analysis performed? It's difficult
to fix something until you know for sure what's wrong with it.
