[USCC] compost and tree planting

[Rhonda Sherman]

Michele,

I ran across the "don't use compost when planting trees" recommendation
just a couple of weeks ago while scanning "The Rodale Book of Composting."
Everything you were told by your local urban forestry group is stated on
page 223.

I was surprised when I read it, as I hadn't seen anything like that before.

Cheers,
