C-210 Composting Accelerator
C-210 is a free-flowing brown powder containing a unique formulation of bacillus and other bacteria in a proprietary stimulator complex of organic nutrients and specialized enzymes derived from fish and poultry hydrolysates. Each pound (454 grams) of C-210 contains over 200 billion (200 x 109) viable microbial spores and over 200 grams of accelerator nutrient blend.
C-210 accelerates the composting process and reduces the time required to produce finished compost. In addition, C-210 directs the microbial community within the compost mass - favoring beneficial microbials while discriminating against pathogenic and putrefactive species.
Mixing various materials to form a pre-compost mixture that has a favorable carbon - to - nitrogen (C:N) ratio is an important step toward optimizing the composting process. Since C-210 contains enzymes and organic nutrients, it can feed its own microbial populations in a “starter meal”, thereby functioning over a wider range of C:N ratios than other products currently on the market. A C:N range of between 20:1 and 40:1 is fully acceptable while 25:1 and 30:1 ratios remain optimal.
The following C:N ratios for various organic materials can be used as a guide:
| Material | C:N | Material | C:N |
|---|---|---|---|
| Green Leaves | 40:1 | Manure | 15:1 |
| Brown Leaves | 80:1 | Kitchen Scraps | 15:1 |
| Cornstalks | 60:1 | Alfalfa (Green) | 13:1 |
| Straw | 80:1 | Alfalfa (Hay) | 12:1 |
| Sawdust | 500:1 | Grass Clippings | 19:1 |
For example, mixing 2 parts manure with 1 part cornstalks would achieve a desirable 30:1 ratio that would respond well to inoculation with C-210.
