I'm planning on using compost to bury my leaf nodes. How much would I need? Plant will cover about 900 sq ft

30' x 30' x 1" deep is roughly 90 cubic feet of material to give your space a 1" layer over the entire patch. Divide 90 by 27 (cubic feet in a cubic yard) and that leaves you at about 3 yards of compost. Considering you won't be covering the entire patch, 2 yards would probably be enough to get you through vine burying. Hope it helps!

We usually stockpile about 1 yard of compost per plant, then mix it with Premier ProMix HP, in order to add some perlite, peatmoss and Mycorrhizae to the compost.

1 yard would be plenty if you dont bury the entire vine.Just the node
