Default Compost on lawn ?

Recently I re-seeded a few patches on my lawn. i covered the seeds with a
light sprinkling of B+Q multi purpose compost. the seeds germinated great,
and the grass around the immediate area is very green and lush, and has
remained so. Would it be a problem to lightly cover the whole lawn with this
compost?

'Stewart',

Best to spike (aerate) the lawn and treat it with a gritty compost which
you can brush into the holes with a besom. That type of treatment is a
blessing to any lawn.

Using compost on its own will tend to clog up the lawn and is not
recommended.

No problem at all AFAICS, better still if you add a small quantity of
sharp sand to the compost.

What is the best way to 'Feed and weed' a lawn is it a liquid fertilizer or
a granulated feed is one better for the lawn than the other?
