Instructions for Concern® Compost BioActivator®

HOW BIOACTIVATOR® WORKS

Nature slowly breaks organic matter into rich soil through the action of beneficial microbes. Composting is the gardener's way of managing this conversion. Concern® BioActivator® puts millions of these helpful microorganisms to work converting your raw yard and garden waste into rich compost.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
For general applications
This box treats a 3' x 3' x 5' pile, approximately 1 ton of raw materials. Just sprinkle BioActivator® on any organic matter. Moisten and turn as needed.

One successful composting method:
Gather and mix or layer organic materials (and yard wastes).

Sprinkle BioActivator® -- 2 scoops (4 Tablespoons) on each 6" layer.

Moisten thoroughly. It should feel like a squeezed-out sponge.

Repeat layers and moisten until materials are at least 3' high in pile or bin.

Turn or fluff weekly and keep moist.

To re-charge a cool pile:

Poke holes deep into the pile every foot or so.

Sprinkle a scoop of BioActivator® into each hold and over the surface of the pile.

Water thoroughly, including filling holes with water.

SUGGESTED MATERIALS TO COMPOST
Composting works best when you alternate layers of "brown" carbon-rich materials with "green" nitrogen-rich materials.

Browns Greens
leaves, hay, or straw grass & garden clippings shredded newspaper cow/horse/chicken manure
pine needles, sawdust kitchen scraps, coffee grounds wood chips/ashes eggshells, fruit & vegetable peels

We do not recommend composting diseased plants, meat scraps, pet litter/feces, charcoal ashes, glossy paper, or cooking oils.
