Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is Eco-Boost and what does it do?
A: Eco-Boost is a compost accelerator containing millions of microorganisms that naturally break down organic material into rich soil. It acts like a "yeast" for your compost pile, jumpstarting the decomposition process and significantly reducing the time it takes to make usable compost.
Q: Why should I use Eco-Boost instead of letting my compost pile decompose naturally?
A: While natural composting happens eventually, it can take months or even years for adequate decomposition. Eco-Boost speeds up the process, often allowing you to turn kitchen scraps and yard waste into usable compost within weeks instead of months.
Q: Is Eco-Boost safe for the environment?
A: Yes! Eco-Boost contains only naturally occurring microorganisms similar to those found in any healthy compost pile. It's completely safe for your plants, soil, and the environment.
Q: Can I use Eco-Boost in both indoor and outdoor compost bins?
A: Absolutely! Eco-Boost works equally well in both kitchen compost pails and outdoor compost bins. It also provides a powerful boost to hot bin composters, especially during cold winter months when internal heat production might decrease.
Q: How much Eco-Boost do I need to use?
A: Simply mix 1 tablespoon of Eco-Boost per gallon of water, activate for 10 minutes, and then apply the solution to your compost pile. Sprinkle additional teaspoons occasionally, especially while removing finished compost.
Q: Can I compost meat scraps with Eco-Boost?
A: While technically possible, we recommend against composting meat scraps in open bins due to potential animal attraction. You can either avoid meat scraps altogether or consider a separate composter for them.
