We’ve found that this additive helps to speed up compost bin breakdown but requires a substantial amount of brown material to really get working. And some moisture.

There were a bunch of loose pellets of the product in the Amazon bag. I opened the shipping bag in my kitchen and didn't realize I spread the pellets all over on my way outside. I don't know if the bag has a hole in it but I keep finding the pellets all over. This stuff seems to help turn my scraps into compost in my plastic rotating compost bins.

Verified Purchase

I just loved this product. I made an error and sent off for two bags. I am so glad I did as this is the first time I have used any compost starter and I was so, so AMAZED. I waited two days and then looked at my compost well this had started working and I tossed as much as I was able and I can hardly wait to use it. Almost instantly it has started to work. I am 78 years of age and tossing my compost is not easy for me, BUT, I am now in hog heaven as this has taken so much work out of my hands and back. Oh, the joy of Jobe's Organics Compost starter. This has three cheers from June. June.
