Mycelium: Mushrooms contain a vast network of mycelium. During the expansion of this network, enzymes that decompose into primary nutrients and sugars are released. These nutrients feed your plants and accelerate their growth. Even in conditions not favorable for decomposition, the mycelium in fungi can still get the job done. There is an argument for not using any accelerator when making compost. You have to ask, what’s the hurry? Even if you use an accelerator there is going to be a lengthy period of time before the compost will reach a finished state. When spread over the soil surface or lightly forked in, home-made compostadds valuable organic matter that improves the soil’s structure, aeration and biodiversity.It can boost moisture retention in fast-draining sandy soils and aiddrainage in heavy clay soils. Used as a mulch, it helps to hold moisture in the soil and slow down evaporation in summer. Alternatively, you may consider adding garden soil to your heap. This soil is rich with microbes that aid the decay process. Inalcik, Halil (2000). The Ottoman Empire: the classical ... - Google Books. ISBN 978-1-84212-442-0 . Retrieved 2009-09-16.

You could just scatter it over the forming compost. An ideal rate would be 4 oz (100g) per square metre. Don’t add any more until you have built up a layer of fresh waste to a depth of about 10 inches (250mm). Alternatively you could make up a solution of the same amount of sulphate of ammonia by dissolving it in 2 to 3 pints of water and, using a watering can, sprinkling it over the compost.

There can’t be the mixing as with a tumbler but you could make some headway using an aerator probe to open the mass up and get some agitation.

If you add nothing to your compost and rely completely on the forces of nature, then there is one thing that you must do to accelerate composting of green waste. Do what you can to get air into it.

The structure changes and you will see how recognizable items of food waste turn into a porridge-like mash.

Compost starters/accelerators help remedy this by providing easily digestible nitrogen needed to boost the decay process. Hot composting produces greater volume than cold composting, hot compost contains far fewer weed seeds, and it is much richer in substances that promote plant growth.

After analyzing several products, we realized the most efficient commercial compost activators had one thing in common. They are all rich in readily digestible nitrogen forms. An ideal compost pile requires the right carbon to nitrogen ratio. However, in most cases, there is more carbon (brown material) than nitrogen (green material) in your compost pile. If you add an accelerator and do nothing more, other than agitation through tumbling or aerator probing, you may be disappointed with what you see. When fresh green waste is subjected to the level of bacterial influx that happens when we use these accelerators the reaction is fast. Yes, you certainly can.
