< find a way to put down compost on our lawn. We have a very large yard,
probably 1/2 an acre of well-tended lawn. Is there a practical method of
spreading compost onto this? I try to not bag any lawn clippings, but i'm
sure the lawn would benefit from a good dose of organic matter.>>

Ryan,

This is something I would like to do. I haven't tried it yet but this is what
I was thinking: How about spreading out a small amount of organic matter over
the uncut lawn then mowing the lawn with a mulching mower. I'm thinking the
mulcher blade would chop the matter up and then send it down to at least soil
level.

What do you think?
