To top dress an established landscape, you can add a layer of compost on top of the existing soil. If you have established plants, add 1 - 2 inches of compost all around the plant. The plants will still get the benefits of the humic acid and other important plant nutrients abundantly found in compost. The plants and landscape will reward you with a lush, healthy growth. Additionally, it will step-up your plants natural resistance to insects and diseases. This method is nothing but back to basics.
