* What is meant by 'composting activator'
It is a source of nitrogen to help feed the bacteria to help then get
established and multiply quickly in the compost. Nettles are a good
source. You can also buy some granules called Garrota. Personally I use
pee which is free and plentiful and does a better job.
We had a similar discussion here many years ago and I can't remember
whether or not the pee made the compost smell of ammonia before the
rotting down process has got underway. *I assume it doesn't. *We also
had a discussion when Jane Ransom was here about the possibility of
ladies peeing on the compost as easily as men. *I wonder where Jane is
these days?

other stuff.
