Apply castings where you grow
Application rates change with root volume, drainage, and plant age. Open the raised-bed, houseplant, and seedling guides below for full recipes and troubleshooting.
| Place | Starting rate | Main caution |
|---|---|---|
| Raised bed | ¼-inch top-dress | Do not bury crowns |
| Houseplant | 10–15% in mix | Preserve drainage |
| Seedling | 5–10% in mix | Keep the medium light |
Use the calculator for exact volume. It does math without sighing, which makes it the calmest member of the garden team.
