GREEN PIG Compost Accelerator Converts Yard Waste to Fertile Humus in 30 Days and Helps Control Odors Associated with Compost Piles, 1 Bag (12 Dissolvable Packets)

I'm new to this composting thing. I've been doing it for about a year and a half, and I have not had much success. I live in Phoenix, and I think it just gets too hot in the summer. I mean, you got this big black container sitting in the direct sunlight when it's 115 outside for an hour, it's going to cook whatever is inside it. I'm just as likely to get ash as I am to get compost. I didn't get usable soil in 30 days from this product, though I made more progress in 30 days than I had made in the previous 500 days. I give it 5 stars for that. It's quite possible that it was still just too hot in September, as it was much hotter than normal. When it got to 115 last week for a couple of days last week, I just figured I would have to reapply.. I'm trying a different product on the other side. On the older side, it is specifically the grass clippings that have composted nicely. That's what I need, as I need a nitrogen heavy mix. There's a bit of thatch and a lot of leaves left. Nothing else is identifiable.

I have been using this accelerator for several years and I get great compost and it is quicker. We usually empty the compost every thirty days and we have lots of fertile humus every month.

I have a new metal raised plant bed. I filled it with leaves and sticks, stomped it down, filled it to the brim again. I mixed up these tabs in water and poured them over the leaves, covered with some top soil and let it sit until spring ( approx 3 months ). I planted tomatoes in the bed and they are growing very well. That tells me the leaves composted nicely and are good organic matter for the tomato roots.

I have been using this for about a year now and just bought my 4th pack. About once a week we take food scraps from watermelon chunks to egg shells and other vegetables and put in a compost bin with dirt. Use one packet mixed with two gallons of water and pore over the new batch. I turn it over in the dirt. By the time the next week to add more, the old batch has done its job. To be honest I think it breaks down all the scraps completely in 3 weeks or less. We live in Arizona so our warm temperatures may help aslo. We are constantly adding the compost into or garden. I will buy again. This really does make black gold fast.

When I first started composting, I bought this to kick-start the process. Now after a few months of experience, I know that if you do it right (mix the right amount of green and brown, maintain appropriate moisture level, aerate), the composting process will start itself just fine. I can't prove or disprove whether this product works, it may indeed speed up the process by a few days. But composting is a long process anyway (6 months average), saving a few days doesn't really gain you much. So save yourself some money, you don't need this product to get started in composting.

Great product, this is the second time I’ve purchased! It really breaks down the food waste into compost more quickly than without. I fill an old milk gallon jug with warm water and dissolve the packet and dump it all over the compost. Super easy! Highly recommend

I mix one packet with 32 oz. of water and 10-15 drops of Lavender Essential Oil. I use it to spray on the wood pellets on my trays underneath my Quail cages in my bird aviary. The trays stay odorless for twice as long and the Lavender is calming to the birds. It’s also a good cleaner for dissolving the bird droppings from the splash guards or feeders. I don’t have to be concerned about it harming my birds. Then when I dump the trays it will compost the contents.

It did speed up breakdown of compost. It was not within 30 days. More like 60-90 days. It was better than 6 mo ths plus gor traditional compost. However, even better results with vermicomposting and/or bokashi methods.

I have been using it for a month. No odour coming from the composter. Working quite nicely.
