compost bin location

[FarmerJamie]

I always poured a can of regular Coca-Cola or RC Cola to kick start the heat. My Jerry Baker book is in the storage unit and the book has a compost kick-starter recipe. *Kicks nearby clod of dirt, and ambles off into the Internet search tools...*

Compost starter solution

Put in your hose end sprayer and spray the area.

Beer???? Can ya drink it first and then... oh heck...nevermind!

But, sounds like it would be a good starter.

 

[FarmerJamie]

[frustratedearthmother]

Lol - you are correct, sir!

Actually from what I understand, that's good for the compost bin as well.
