Default Compost heap

Hi all little bit of advice,
Im currently building new compost bins from pallets i know the mixes and stuff for my compost but it takes a while. i came across a website that sells the compost makers which you mix with water in the watering can and water in the compost bins. it says it creates compost in half the time because it " increses the micro orginisms " do these compost aditives actually work or ar they just to be ignored ?

Thanks a lot.
Andrew

This is one of the best uses for FRESH manure, it makes a good activator. Or use Garotta, it`s tried and tested.

Male urine is said to accelerate composting.
