This is my 2nd year using our Square Foot garden. How much compost do I need to add for a 4x4 garden?

Hi Jill. It depends. How far down did the Mel's Mix sink? Enough to bring the level back up. Camp puts a wheelbarrow-worth in. I would say at least two full 5- gallons of quality, 5-source compost, if not more. This is what feeds the plants.
