Instructions for Concern® Compost BioActivator®

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 letter/feces, charcoal ashes, glossy paper, or cooking oils.
