I looked at this in Wilkos yesterday but the packaging didn't say what it was that accelerated the compost production or if it was suitable for organic growers (therefore I suspect it isn't!).

Any thoughts?

Usually just a mix of lime and a cheap source of fertiliser, such as BF&B or chicken manure to accelerate the rotting process.

The more expensive types include Ammonium sulphamate.

Urea?

Hmm.  Thanks guys.  Don't think I'll bother with it then

Got me thinking, human urine is a common DIY compost accelerator  but if you are on any medication it could probably not be classed as organic no matter how natural your diet !

Thankfully I'm not on any medication and I regularly empty a bucket onto the heap (along with loo roll - it's biodegradable  ) as I choose not to use the stinky chemical toilet that's on site so maybe that's all I need to be doing.

Good for you !

The UK is years behind the scandinavian countries in using human sourced nutrients.

I expect the label on supermarket goods would freak people beyond the profit margin  !
