thats the great thing about the pigeon poo dont have to use a lot but it starts the process very quickly and turns the comfry inside a fortnight into a great stinky liquid that im going to add the molasses too

As I don't know any pigeon fancier do you know any alternative to pigeon poo as an accelerator please?  Don't know any chicken keepers either.

not  sure if compost accelerator would work if you dilute it but it might be worth a go

Human pee is a good accelerator.
