This all-purpose activator kick-starts the compost process with essential organisms and nutrients that efficiently break down organic material. Transform common yard waste--such as lawn clippings, dead leaves, pine needles, and twigs--into compost within 60 to 90 days. Use the rich humus that results as fertilizer or mulch, or double dig into a vegetable or flower bed for an exceptional soil amendment. This two-pound box contains enough activator for several batches of compost. --Mary Park

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

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!

Watch out for the product leaking a bit in the box. Ours came with one side of the product box "unglued a bit" which let the product leak out into the Outer shipping box. Didn't loose too much, but was slightly disappointed that the product leaked out in shipping.

We are new to the details of composting so I was hoping this was something I could sprinkle on top of the current "pile" in order to help it speed up the decomposition. My wife (chief composter) says the instructions say the product needs to be on the bottom. I'm not sure if it still wouldn't work if added mid pile, but then again I'm not the "Chief Composter" so we may never know.

It appears that the product requires you to start your compost pile over (if you already started one, because it is supposed to be on "the bottom layer")
