Compost Activator
Organica® Compost Activator uses natural microbes to safely and naturally speed decomposition of yard waste. The activator promotes higher temperatures that increase decomposition speed, help reduce odors, deactivate weed seeds and pathogens and help build healthy soil. Because it combines both thermophilic (high temperature) and mesophilic (low temperature) bacteria, it's effective under a wide range of climatic conditions. USA.
APPLICATION RATES
DRY FORMULATION: Initially apply 1 lb. / ½ kg of product per 2 cubic yards of organic matter and thoroughly wet pile. Reapply 1 - 2 weeks later when turning pile, using ½ lb. / ¼ kg of product per 2 cubic yards of organic matter.
LIQUID FORMULATION: Dilute the concentrate 1:10 - 1:20 depending upon complexity of organic matter involved and how quickly you want the degradation process to occur. Apply 1 - 2 gallons / 3.8 - 7.6 liters of diluted product mix per 1 cubic yard of organic matter. Reapply 1- 2 weeks later when turning the pile, using ½ - 1 gallon / 1.9 - 3.8 liters of diluted product mixture per cubic yard of organic matter.
When using liquid formulation Organica recommends adding 1 gallon of feed grade molasses per 10 gallons / 38 liters of liquid concentrate. This provides a supplemental carbohydrate source which jumpstarts the pile. Piles should be turned and wet down periodically to expedite the biodegradation process. If your piles contain a high level of wood chips it is advisable to add an organic source of nitrogen to bring the carbon: nitrogen ratio into an acceptable range.
