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 :nowink:

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 ! :)

:lol:
Thankfully I'm not on any medication and I regularly empty a bucket onto the heap (along with loo roll - it's biodegradable :wub:) 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 ! ;)
