Q: What is Medina Compost Starter?
A: Medina Compost Starter is a blend of beneficial microbes and nutrients designed to accelerate the composting process. It helps organic materials break down faster and more effectively.

Q: How do I use Medina Compost Starter?
A: Simply mix the recommended amount in water and pour it over your compost pile. Not all ingredients will dissolve; some ingredients are used as a carrier agent in the formula. Turn or mix the compost to help distribute the microbes. Keep the pile moist for best results.

Q: How much product should I use per compost pile?
A: Use approximately 1/2 ounce of Medina Compost Starter per gallon of water. Apply this mixture every 1–2 weeks, or when adding new material to the pile. Adjust based on pile size and activity.

Q: Can I use it in compost bins or tumblers?
A: Yes! Medina Compost Starter is effective in all composting systems—open piles, bins, or rotating compost tumblers.

Q: Will it help with smelly compost?
A: Yes. By promoting aerobic microbial activity, it helps reduce unpleasant odors that result from slow or imbalanced composting.

Q: Is it safe for organic gardening?
A: Absolutely. Medina Compost Starter is made from natural, non-toxic ingredients and is safe for organic gardens, pets, and people.

Q: How quickly will I see results?
A: You may start to notice increased breakdown and heat within weeks, depending on your compost ingredients and how often you turn or mix the pile. Most users report finished compost in significantly less time compared to untreated piles.

Q: Can I use it year-round?
A: Yes! Composting slows down in colder months, but using Compost Starter can help maintain microbial activity even in cooler temperatures.

Using Medina Compost Starter is simple and effective—just follow these easy steps to activate and maintain a healthy compost pile:

Step 1: Dilute the Product

Mix 1/2 ounce of Medina Compost Starter with 1 gallon of water. This solution will help evenly distribute beneficial microbes throughout your compost pile. FYI: Not all ingredients will dissolve; some ingredients are used as a carrier agent in the formula.

Step 2: Apply to Compost

Pour the solution directly onto your compost pile, bin, or tumbler. Be sure to apply it over the surface area and into the layers for best coverage.

Step 3: Turn or Mix the Pile

After applying, turn or stir the compost to help distribute the microbes and bring in oxygen. This step is key to encouraging aerobic decomposition and faster breakdown.

Step 4: Keep Moist, Not Soaked

Maintain a moisture level similar to a wrung-out sponge. Add water as needed during dry conditions to keep microbial activity thriving.

Step 5: Reapply as Needed

Reapply the Compost Starter every 1 to 2 weeks, especially when adding new materials like kitchen scraps, leaves, or grass clippings. This helps maintain an active and balanced microbial population.

Pro Tip: Use in combination with a good balance of “greens” (nitrogen-rich material like food scraps) and “browns” (carbon-rich material like dry leaves or straw) for the best composting results.
