Inoculants and activators are not recommended. Inoculants are microscopic decomposers, and they are naturally found in the source materials you add to your pile, such as leaves and grass. They are abundant in soil, finished compost, and manures. Just 1 teaspoon of fertile soil with compost regularly added to it has 100 million BACTERIA and 400-800 feet of fungal threads.

Accelerators are generally a quick fix of nitrogen that won't last long and are a potential source of water pollution as they are easily washed out of your pile into surface and GROUND water. If you need to add high nitrogen "GREENS" to your pile, organic sources like grass clippings, manure, food scraps or EVEN bone meal give a slow release of nitrogen and are better for COMPOSTING.
