Your composter won’t generally need much help beyond putting in the right ingredients, but if it gets stalled, there are lots of natural things out there that can give it a kick in the behind.

Examples of some natural activators include coffee grounds, tea leaves, kitchen scraps (peels, cooked vegetables, spoiled fruits, etc.), different types of bone meals, and even Finished compost itself.

But if that doesn’t work, you can always turn to an actual compost accelerator, like the one from Green Earth. Green Earth Compost Accelerator is a formulation of 100% organic and natural nutrients and enzymes, intended to speed up the recycling of leaves, waste vegetation and grass clippings into useful, rich humus. It is said to produce no unpleasant odours or harmful by-products.
