Using Compost on Vegetable Garden?

I have compost that looks like wood chips from the city and it has dried out. Can I use this for mulch on my veggies that I just planted?

Most cities sell their wood chips as mulch, not compost. It can be used, however, decaying wood chips steal nitrogen from the soil (for the decaying process). Most plants rely on that nitrogen to grow properly. If you use it, just be careful to spread it on top and not mix it in the soil while the plants are growing.
