Why should Reencle compost be dried & aged for at least 3 weeks before applying to plants??

When composting, it is vital to reduce moisture of the compost as much as possible. 

If the moisture level of the compost is too high, the mix will have a less even distribution of nutrients. Moreover, molds could form if the moisture of the compost is too high.

At the end of the day, a dry and powdery state is what we should opt for so that the nutrients inside can be evenly dispersed.

For optimal results, we typically recommend our customers to mix the Reencle compost with soil at 1:4 ratio and dry or cure the mixture for at least 3 weeks before applying to your plants.
