Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Firstly - you really do not need a product like this unless your compost content is light on the Nitrogen side of the Nitrogen to Carbon ratio, and there are a lot of ways to fix that. Pro (there is only one): it works fairly well at moving the composting process along when I don't have enough green content in my compost mix. Cons: 1) The cost-to-benefit for this product over an inexpensive, general purpose high-Nitrogen fertilizer is very low. 2) This stuff smells like excrement (it's derived from animal parts, which is not recommended for some types of composting - and certainly not recommended for vegan diets). 3) Shipping a product of this nature (bulky) instead of buying it locally results in third and fourth-order shipping waste (wasted fuel and resultant emissions from re-shipping repeatedly). My recommendation is to go down to your local Walmart, Lowe's, Home Depot, Ace, Tractor Supply or whatever store you can find the cheapest general purpose high-Nitrogen fertilizer - and save a few dollars. Additionally - buying local prevents this product from creating third/fourth-order shipping waste. I'm not a radical "environmentalist" or a "Global Warming" alarmist by any stretch of the imagination, I just understand the impacts of individually shipping and re-shipping a product of this nature eventually makes its way back to the consumer in the form of higher prices (even if it comes with "free" shipping up front), and the unneeded waste products created in the process. A waste is a waste - whether it results in higher prices, wasted fuel and/or unnecessary carbon emissions.
