Always dilute Compost Ignition. We recommend a 1:20 product to water ratio. Be sure to use all of the diluted mixture within 24 hours. Compost Ignition can be applied whenever temperatures are above 60° F in your area- below that, it’s harder for the product to activate. Read below for instructions on how to use Compost Ignition based on your purpose:
Commercial Compost Applications
Spray enough diluted Compost Ignition to saturate the top of your windrow.
Re-apply Compost Ignition every 30-45 days, or whenever you turn your windrow.
Homeowners
Apply enough diluted Compost Ignition to saturate the top of your compost pile.
If you have a compost turner or a gravity-based compost bin, re-apply Compost Ignition every 28 days. If you turn your pile manually, re-apply whenever you turn.
Ignition Soil Rejuvenator helps make rich, fertile compost and rejuvenates tired and depleted soils.
Our compost starter is specially formulated to accelerate the process of decomposition. By introducing rich organic acids and activated carbon plus billions of microbes specially cultured to speed the decomposition of difficult to compost organic matter, Ignition serves as the perfect compost accelerator.
Composting helps us to embrace the natural cycle of life and decay. Proper stewardship focused on the idea of ‘waste,’ because it is such a key issue to the health of the planet. In nature, there is no waste, as every living thing serves a greater purpose than its lifespan, and contributes to the growth of something else. When you dive into composting your own ‘waste’, you learn to appreciate the cycle of life which involves decay and new growth in equal measure, and you come to understand that everything has a place in the world.
Microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, and actinomycetes account for the vast majority of the decomposition that takes place in a compost pile. They are considered chemical decomposers because they change the chemistry of organic wastes. Of these organisms, aerobic bacteria are the most important decomposers. They are the most nutritionally diverse of all organisms and can eat nearly anything. Bacteria utilize carbon as a source of energy (to keep on eating) and nitrogen to build protein in their bodies (so they can grow and reproduce). The biological composition and concentration in our compost starter are very similar to products used in many industrial wastewater systems. Ignition may be the only compost accelerator on the market that contains indigenous nitrogen-fixing bacteria.
Ignition Soil Rejuvenator provides the essential activated carbon, humic and fulvic acid to accelerate bacterial growth. These specially designed nutrient sources start the composting process more quickly and efficiently and serve as a powerful compost accelerator.
