Jobe's Organics Fast Acting Granular Fertilizer Compost Starter, Easy Plant Care Compost Accelerator, 4 lbs Bag

This compost starter is excellent. My indoor bucket went cold due to changing weather. I applied this as indicated on the bag and immediately, rather overnight it started to heat up and speed the break down. This is a worthy investment. The finished compost will end up with a 4/4/2 blend which is excellent for most plants. The bag does reek when you open which is expected considering it has dried chicken manure as part of the base. Overally for my smaller compost pile, this will last a while. I'm happy with my purchase. I'll be able to use my compost next spring. 🤩

I have used this product for 4 years to improve my garden soil. I've had a great vegie crop since using it to further enrich the soil.

Recieved compost starter bag with tape on top of bag to seal. However that did not work, bag had emptied inside cardboard shipping package. I did salvage product. The product itself is great. Convenient zip seal bag. Product speeds up the composting processes. This is my second bag. I will buy again.

I am low desert and have struggled to compost for decades. It would take a year to kind of get compost. This year I had plenty of materials for good piles. I addd a few handfuls of this compost starter and I have happy compost happening! It is works as advertised! Amazing!

Works great!

I purchased this to add gradually per instructions to my small compost pile, started last month & consisting so far of unused garden soil, grass clippings and vegetable scraps. Those already started decomposing but I wanted to speed things up, as I have not much to add to the pile now. In the past I have used “compost accelerators”. The bag I got was securely packed in a cardboard box with air bubble (?) packing, so no broken bags, I got a full and secure bag of product. There is no expiration date, I think other reviewers are reading the date of manufacture as an expiration date. I added about 2 cups over the pile and raked it in, did not water as the pile was wet from rain & more rain is expected. Buyers should know that this stuff stinks to high heaven! It is granular, not a powder.

Hopes that it will fast start the compost

This stuff has a strong odor, aaaalmost like manure but not quite. It’s easy to add to my tumbler, I added a bit of water as instructed, and the inside of my compost tumbler was WARM in the middle of the first frost in central Tx. In 30-40 degree weather it was freezing and thawing, and just sitting. Added more browns and this stuff during Back to back 20 degree weather and my tumbler is giving off heat! I know that’s a sure fire sign of things continuing to break down as they should. Great product. And I’ve hardly made a dent in the bag, so I know this will last me for while. A good, inexpensive solution to get some compost ready for spring

Used this product in my compost rotating bin, worked exactly like it said it would. Would buy it again
