BZT® COMPOST ACTIVATOR - COMPOST YARD WASTE

Biological Treatment Summary

The Situation

A South Dakota resident who is an avid gardener, had tried various products to compost the grass clippings from his yard to use as fertilizer for his shrubs. Previous efforts yielded a white mold and unpleasant odor, and he was not successful in obtaining adequate compost material.

The Solution

The gardener used Bio-Form LLC's BZT® Compost Activator directly in his composting bin to break down the grass clippings.

The Results

The day after applying BZT® Compost Activator, the gardener noticed there was heat in the pile. He could smell fermenting forage, which he and his neighbor explained as a "pleasant, nutritious smell". After 10 days, he noticed the color of the clippings turned brown, and the white mold had disappeared. Twenty days after applying BZT® Compost Activator, the pile began to cool down, and it had reduced to one third the size of the original pile. Six weeks after the pile had cooled he had a rich, deep brown fertilizer.
