I have acompost bin, and I want to speed things slong. I was thinking
of a commercial accelerant, but would rather use something cheeper,
besides the usual kitchen waste. Any tips? Aldo should I put air
holes in the bottom side panels of the bin for circulation? Thanks.


I bought a 40 pound bag of dried molasses for about $10, and put a few
handfuls in my compost bin. Within days, the compost almost caught on
fire, and turned from leaves to black compost in less than a month.
Guess it was hungry.


Thanks will give it a try. Where did you get yours?
