Just add 1-2 tablespoons each time you add a layer of scraps to start or ramp up the pickling process! The pickling process increases the acidity of your food while producing a sweet vinegar odor; deterring any pests that normally hang around in a regular compost system.
What are the benefits?
Speeds up home compost. Pickling speeds up the breakdown of food scraps up to 1.5 times faster in your home compost!
