The mixture will increase the temperature of the compost mass. Due to this, it will mature faster.

In addition, dangerous microorganisms will be destroyed.

How to use the product correctly

Sprinkling the compost heap with starch and urea should be done regularly. The procedure should be done twice a month.

You can use no more than three spoons of the prepared product each time.

After the bulk components are on the organic remains, you need to pour a little clean liquid onto the processed mass.
