Compost Starter?

[NattyPepper]

Has anyone used this stuff before. Its a granular product you mix in with your pile to help the process get started.

never used it but i would give it a try just use suggested amount !

Do you know if it's an innoculant or activator?

Innoculants are pretty much unnecessary, and I haven't found that they make faster compost. You'd be better off throwing in a few handfuls of garden soil to innoculate your pile.

Activators are only useful if you have a high carbon:nitrogen ratio.

Just pee on it.

You can also try bokashi bran as well.

I have put grass clippings in a pile, sprayed it with water, and that night it was so hot you couldn't keep your hand in it.

 

[StupidJerk]

I'll second the just pee on it. Free and it works.

read the ingredients, usually they are nothing more than bone and blood meal along with some poultry manure.....you may already have the ingredients.

Just pee on it.

yep, regular yard soil (which has millions of microorganisms) ... and if you are low on nitro, a bucket full of pee every week or fresh lawn clippings and you will be "golden"

cheers

Ah ha ha ha ha. Nice one Al!

I am happy to see the pee is more acceptable these days.

If you live in an are with wild life near by, it may also help fend off critters. So go mark your territory! and make sure to get some in the compost pile.

Compost happens. The greatest scientists in the world would not be able to stop it.
