Applying Chevron, the Court considered first whether the statute was ambiguous. Finding it so, it then looked to whether the agencyâs interpretation of the statute was reasonable. Justice Kagan, writing for a unanimous Court, found that the BIAâs interpretation was âbased on a permissible construction of the statuteâ and thus entitled to deference.
Select the proper material for compost. Different plants require special levels of soil acidity to thrive. Use materials such as bone meal for plants that grow better in alkaline or neutral soils and citrus rind and leaves for plants that require a more acidic soil.Verify the pH of the mixture before planting.sing compost instead of topsoil can require a layer from 6 inches for shallow root plants such as violets and oxalis to 12 inches for deeper-rooted plants such as petunias or ferns.
Spread it on your garden. Use finished compost in a layer on top of your soil to nourish the plants underneath. Water will carry nutrients down, into the soil. This is called top-dressing.You can top-dress a garden, a tree, even a lawn (just sprinkle it in). 1  Compost also makes an excellent layer in any no-dig garden.f your potted plants (or flowers, herbs, vegetables) are already growing, use the compost with nothing added and sprinkle on the surface of the dirt. (If you donât have room, you can shovel out a layer of the dirt thatâs already in the pot and replace it with the compost).
