envii Compost Accelerator – Organic Compost Maker & Activator, Uses Natural Beneficial Bacteria to Speed up the Composting Process, Suitable for All Compost Bins 12 Tablets Treats 1,800L of Compost

I read the glowing reviews for this compost accelerator and knew I had to give it a go myself. I have used Envii products before and know they are great quality and do deliver. I followed the instructions closely and to the letter. All our compost bins are very full due to having a large garden, cooking a lot (loads of veggie bits go in composters) and putting our outdoor pet waste in there (from my rabbits & chickens). I don't add any paper or anything that doesn't naturally belong in a compost bin/heap.Using the product: I dissolved one tablet in 5ltr warm water for between 30 - 60 minutes as directed. Once this was done I used a garden fork to make a well in the center of each heap and poured the water via a watering can into the center of the piles (each heap had a tablet each). I then infilled the holes with the material inside each bin and replaced the lids to keep as much heat in as possible. I can see that some people found it made the contents of their bins too wet, I think if you don't have a lot in them you need to adjust accordingly. My compost seems OK and not too wet.Today it was a week since I added the Envii Accelerator and I had cleaned out my rabbits and chickens, whose droppings and sawdust I add to the compost each week. I dug each bin over fairly well, as soon as each lid came off I could smell that the materials inside are breaking down, the center of each heap was also warm. I had also noticed that there were a lot of worms in the compost this time, they seem to have been attracted to the bins since adding this magic ingredient. I am looking forward to having great compost within the new few months, maybe sooner! If they are broken down well before Spring I will bag up the compost and store it and start the bins off again. There really isn't so much need to buy compost if you recycle as much kitchen and garden waste as possible :) cuts out plastic too :)

Bought this to speed up composting only used twice so far.

Seems to work well

I prefer the Garotta which I think probably works better in my compost bin

Simple and clear instructions at a reasonable price.

Happy to reduce garden organic waste

easy to use and probably going to work well, though too early to be sure

My compost getting hot
