I just listened to Home Planet on Radio 4, and they had a very interesting bit on worms and wormeries.
Here's the link for the programme's website, with the "listen again" button for the whole programme.

Are compost additives really worth it???

My compost this time of year is mostly brown waste with G pig and chook mess (shavings and straw)... would it be worth me adding a compost additive to get it going or with the wee and poo activate itself?

No!!!

If it was a new heap I would suggest a shovelfull of garden soil as that would add more of the required bacteria than most of the activators contain if it is an existing heap then the bacteria are already present you just add material to feed them.
