Here is an example of foliage of 2 different hydrangeas growing in 2 different places in the garden where I recently moved (with a box of old kitchen compost, of course).
I mixed up some compost around one of hydrangeas, but left another one hungry. Isn’t it cool?

Those yellow leaves could be a soil pH thats too high, or nutrient deficient, especially nitrogen. Adding compost will both lower the pH (unless youre compost has had a ridiculous amount of eggshells added) and raise the nitrogen content.
But yeah, its amazing what it does for plants. This year I tried planting in straight compost for a couple plants in my container garden, and the heavy feeders / fast establishers like zucchini and tomatoes are freaking loving it. My zucchini went from seed to fruiting in about 3 weeks from emerging. The 2 straight weeks of 80+ weather surely didnt hurt, either.
