One ounce of Pfeiffer Biodynamic Compost is sufficient for approximately 1 ton (1.0 cubic yards = 3 ft x 3ft x 3ft) of raw materials. For back yard composting, mix a pinch of starter in your compost bucket each time you add it to the pile, thereby continually inoculating your compost pile.
Activation Instructions:
Mix the compost starter with enough lukewarm water to yield a fully moistened paste-like substance. Store the mixture in a warm place for approximately 12 hours before application. Once the mixture is activated, it is usable for up to 48 hours.
The mixture must be activated for at least 12 hours before use.
Dilute the activated compost starter with sufficient water to fully cover the area to be composted. The amount of water is dependent upon the calibration of your spray equipment or the method of application.
