Why did you choose this?

Needed to get our compost activated.

I don’t want to answer these questions until I receive the goods and check them myself then get back to me on these questions

For our compost bin.

Start plants for Spring

I’m making my compost with straw from the barn where I keep my sheep and goats. Plus I’m adding all my kitchen scraps of vegetables, fruits, egg shells and coffee grounds. Will this help decompose everything?

Yes, definitely. You will have exquisite compost if you keep the ratio of dry material to wet at 20:1 and use this. It's possible to have good compost in a couple of months.

On the article about composting, you mentioned spreading the compost around flower beds - can this be done on top of the mulch and the compost nutrients seep into the bed, or is it better to dig up the mulch and mix the compost in? Thank you.

That's a very efficient idea. The rain will wash the compost down through the mulch and eventually the compost nutrients will seep through the soil.

Does this product have a shelf life or can I keep it for a long time to use year after year?

Hi Dee, To the best of my knowledge this product does not have a shelf life and can be used year after year as long its properly stored in a cool, dry, well ventilated environment. Be sure to keep the container closed when not in use too.

How long does it take to compost in a barrel ..when using paper and grasscuttings???

That will depend upon whether the barrel is in the sun; how you manage the moisture and how often you turn it. It can be anywhere from 4 weeks to 6 months.

Great stuff!
I believe that it has helped nurish my compost because I currently have more plants growing there.

Odor reduction
My compost is in a residential area and I have to carefully keep it covered to keep the odor down and even then on hot days the odor seems to leak out. Since I've been applying Jobes Organic Compost Starter each week when I add lawn clippings and gardening remnants I've notice the odor is practically gone. Maybe that's a side benefit. Anyone have a comment on this?

compost.
This product appears to work when you add it to your compost pile and keep it wet. This is the best thing that I've bought from Starks. Go figure.
