Fanners and composters - Here is a breakdown for
compost and manure pits and manure piles! Pit Power
is bacteria and bacteria feeders that break down solids
in manure pits and septic tanks and breakdown compost
faster.
Clean out your pit with ease, use Pit Power! One gallon
of Pit Power per 10,000 to 20,000 gal of pit volume.
Should be repeated approx. 2 times a year! If aeration
of the pit is possible, it will help the bacteria to grow
and work faster to break down solids. Pit Power’s pur
pose is to add life (bacteria) in the manure, which then
is returned to the soil where a bacteria is working. The
smell of pit manure is not so strong Pit Power is a non
toxic product - Life to Feed Life!
Price is $58.00 per gallon
(6 gal or more - $55 per gallon). Full UPS fee will be charged if
payment is not with order Send orders to
