GA: Compost! It arrived on Thursday; today I put it on plants

My first time getting the free compost at GA.  So far, I like it!  

Yes, there's gravel in parts of it; yes, I found a first small piece of glass -- but it looks nice and rich.

It took up a solid .... "bed" made by the plow.  I'll measure it next time.

Today I put it at the base of all of the already-planted plants -- after putting some leaves on top for the larger plants.  So leaves, then compost to hold down the leaves.

Potatoes, carrots, beets, and clover are the only things that I didn't give any compost to.  Potatoes because they haven't appeared yet; carrots because %$^&*( I'll probably have to re-seed and anyway would be way too small at this point; beets because they're way too small at this point; clover because I won't bother.

So, today these got compost and leaves:
- The few tomatoes, peppers, and ground cherries that are in already.


These got compost only:
- Onions
- Leeks
- The few zinnias, coreopsis, and f-m-n that are in already.
