How to Use it
Common Questions
How do I store my Foodilizer™?
Store it in an air tight container where the temperature doesn't fluctuate. When it comes time to incorporating it into soil, a garden bed, or compost pile, make sure there's enough room for aeration and to follow the gardening guide for optimal results. Foodilizer™ can produce odors and be susceptible to mold if moisture is reintroduced.
