Compost Starter (Drunken)
Posted: May 7th, 2020, 8:52 am
My wife and I are looking to start composting. We are starting with a GeoBin and were intending to use the "Drunken Compost Starter" recipe found around the internet (can of beer, can of soda, and 8oz of ammonia). Unfortunately we can't find ammonia given the current circumstances.
As I understand it, the ingredients of beer, soda, and ammonia are supposed to supply microbes, sugar, and nitrogen respectively. Can I just use some synthetic nitrogen I have left over from last year? Right now our compost pile consists of grass clippings and cardboard.
