Compost Application Guide
Step by step instructions for applying microbial products in composting
How to Apply
- Requires only one application: For composting, before the process starts and for enrichment, 1-2 weeks before packing/usage
- Dilute 1 litre of product in enough water to cover 1 tonne of waste/manure (roughly 100 litres based on the volume)
- Spray the diluted solution to the 1 tonne heap
- Ensure the heap is turned to ensure uniform application to all content
- Cover the heap or take steps to retain moisture (about 40%) and limit UV exposure
- Monitor moisture and temperature changes to intervene with water sprays or turning respectively
Precautions
- Maintain proper moisture level (40-60%) throughout the composting process
- Apply during early morning or late evening to avoid UV exposure
- Avoid application during extreme temperatures (below 10°C or above 35°C)
- Ensure adequate ventilation when applying in enclosed spaces
- Avoid contamination with chemical pesticides or disinfectants
- Keep children and pets away from treatment area until dry
Storage and Handling
- Store product in cool, dry place between 4-25°C away from direct sunlight
- Shake bottle well before use to ensure even distribution of microbial population
- Product has shelf life of 6-12 months when properly stored
- Keep container tightly closed when not in use
- Contains live organisms - do not mix with bactericides, fungicides, or toxic chemicals
- Use prepared mixture within 24 hours of dilution
- Wear protective equipment (gloves, mask, eye protection) when handling
