What type of crops grow in compost?

Compost itself isn't a growing medium, it's a soil amendment. It's added to soil to improve its structure, drainage, and nutrient content. So, crops don't grow *in* compost, but they thrive *with* it.

Here are some crops that benefit from compost:

Vegetables:

* Tomatoes

* Peppers

* Cucumbers

* Zucchini

* Broccoli

* Carrots

* Lettuce

* Spinach

* Beans

* Peas

* Potatoes

Fruits:

* Strawberries

* Blueberries

* Raspberries

* Apples

* Pears

* Grapes

Flowers:

* Roses

* Daisies

* Sunflowers

* Petunias

* Zinnias

Herbs:

* Basil

* Mint

* Parsley

* Thyme

* Oregano

In general, compost benefits almost any crop, especially those that need rich, well-draining soil.

It's important to note that compost isn't a substitute for soil. It's best to use compost as an amendment to existing soil, rather than using it as the sole growing medium.
