This product utilizes the powerful Compost digesting abilities of special bacteria and natural enzymes. It is a blend of bacillus bacteria strains cultured for their ability to digest organic waste - quickly, efficiently and without odors! These strains will work both in the presence of oxygen [aerobic digestion] and in the absence of oxygen [anaerobic digestion]. The natural enzymes quickly break down proteins, starch, carbohydrates, animal and vegetable fats & oils, and paper.
