hi
I live in outside of Philadelphia and it's late October and I'm just now collecting my finished compost but not sure where to best put it. I have outdoor hydrangea container plants, indoor house plants and a end of season raised planter vegetable garden. Where should I best put my limited compost this late into the season since frost is coming soon. If I treat it as fertilizer, isn't it bad to fertilize right before coming first frosts.

I never put out compost in the mid fall. I wait until very early spring.

Unless you made some pretty fancy compost, its not fertilizer, just compost. Put it where ever you want.

... outside. I don't bring compost into potted indoor plants.

Oh, I just reread that. Not indoors. Never indoors. Thankyou for catching that Sallyg.

I keep a few buckets of compost in my greenhouse (you could just as well keep it in a shed or garage or whatever) to use for planting tomatoes in the spring (my compost heap is usually still frozen at that time).
