Why Composting??
Composting yard waste breaks down the plant tissue to simple, basic nutrients in a form that plants can use for growth. Yards and gardens can receive the benefits of rich, moist humus when worked into the soil in the Spring or Fall or anytime during the growing season.
Knowing how to compost can save you alot of money and produce a healthy organic garden.
Ringer Compost Plus Compost Maker uses a range of natural microorganisms that are designed and selected for the material that they decompose. In particular, they combine thermophilic organisms that work at higher temperatures. Ringer Compost Plus contains specially designed nutrient sources that start the compost process more quickly and efficiently.
Directions for Use and how to compost:
- Select a shady spot with good drainage. Place a thin layer of bulky material such as twigs or wood chips on the bottom to reduce packing and to aerate the bottom layer. Start your compost pile with a layer of yard waste (shredded brown leaves, grass clippings, chipped wood trimmings, etc) 4-6 inches deep.
- Sprinkle Compost Plus liberally over top of pile. Use about 1 cup for a 3x4 ft x 4 inch layer. Do not pack materials too tightly or make pile too large.
- Water to moisten (water until pile has the dampness of a sqeezed out sponge
- Repeat steps 1-3 with each additional layer. For best results use a combination of fine and coarse materials and do not use meat, fat or bones in your compost pile.
- Every 7 to 10 days, aerate pile with an aeration tool or turn with forked tool or spade
- Grass clippings will compost the fastest, leaves are slower and twigs, woodchips, etc. will take the longest. That is all it takes to learn how to compost. If you would like more information about composting, please visit our 'How to Compost' page in our Gardening 101 section.
How to use your Humus:
- Humus enhances the supply and availability of all nutrients to the soil
- Improve garden soil by applying a 3 inch layer of humus and turn it into the soil before planting.
- Your finished humus makes a great mulch over a bulb garden
- Add to a new lawn- blend compost into the soil prior to seeding or sodding

I have tried other brands before but I actually saw progress with this one in a week. I over filled my composter with dried yard clippings from piles I had made from weeks before and had it so packed that when I spun it nothing really moved. When I checked it yesterday so much was breaking down that I had thought my husband had removed 1/3 of my pile. This is the quickest breakdown to date! Great product.

It seems to work. 2 comparable compost piles (grass clippings, chopped leaves, food waste), one treated with Ringer compost starter, the other not. After three days, temperature of the treated pile was 97 degrees, untreated pile 83 degrees (air temperature 81 degrees). The compost starter seems to kick things off in a hurry, so hopefully the compost will be just about done by the time freezing weather comes.
Packaging: Some of the pelletized starter leaked out of the product box into the shipping box. There did not appear to be any damage or holes in the box, so I think it just fell through some weak seams on the box.

For some reason, my garden soil does not contain the thermophilic bacteria necessary to start a compost pile. This product is the solution. Mix brown stuff like leaves and green stuff like grass in a 2:1 ratio and use this for bacteria, water well and you will have a hot pile in two days!

Used the Activator and it really sped up the process. I was having a slow go before I used this, so highly recommend.

This really did make a difference in the time it took my compost to break down. I think it is a good value and a nice way to get things moving along in the compost pile.
