When a plant dies, its remains are digested by microorganisms and invertebrates in the soil, and it is decomposed to humus. This is how nutrients are recycled in an ecosystem.
Some organic materials placed in the compost pile are broken down more easily than others. Different decomposers thrive on different materials as well as at different temperature ranges. Some microbes require oxygen, and others do not. Some work at higher temperatures and some at lower temperatures Composting tends to slow down in colder weather and speeds up during the warmer months.
Having a
diverse microbial community where each thrives under different conditions makes for a more efficient composting process.
If the environment in the compost pile becomes inhospitable to a particular type of decomposer, it will die, become dormant, or
move to a different part of the compost pile. The transforming
conditions of the compost pile create a continually evolving
ecosystem inside the pile.
By adding our diverse probiotic mixture of microbes, the
composting activity will not only be accelerated but the added
diversity will improve the efficiency and quality of the compost.
Spray the compost pile when adding new material to accelerate
the biodegrading process and to reduce odors and pests.
For large piles, mix 1/4 cup per gallon of water
and apply at a rate of 1 cup of diluted product per cubic yard
of material.
