For some reason, my garden soil does not contain the thermophilic bacteria necessary to start a compost pile. This product is the solution. Mix brown stuff like leaves and green stuff like grass in a 2:1 ratio and use this for bacteria, water well and you will have a hot pile in two days!

Used the Activator and it really sped up the process. I was having a slow go before I used this, so highly recommend.

It seems to work. 2 comparable compost piles (grass clippings, chopped leaves, food waste), one treated with Ringer compost starter, the other not. After three days, temperature of the treated pile was 97 degrees, untreated pile 83 degrees (air temperature 81 degrees). The compost starter seems to kick things off in a hurry, so hopefully the compost will be just about done by the time freezing weather comes.
Packaging: Some of the pelletized starter leaked out of the product box into the shipping box. There did not appear to be any damage or holes in the box, so I think it just fell through some weak seams on the box.

Did not work as well as the box would lead one to believe
Rather than starting a compost pile from scratch, as suggested, I used this on an existing compost pile to add a little heat and get it going after a very long and cold winter. Read more

Speeds Up the Composting for Your Garden
It's hard to imagine any soil worse than the native soil in my garden and my yard. Here in Texas, we call it caliche, and you truly could use it as clay on a potter's wheel. Read more
