Any septic tank activator will do well for soil mix.They are usually a mix of
1-1-1 and beneficial bacteria.Plus they are cheap!

are you guys talking about adding it after harvest to reuse the mix, or add it before planting with regular amendments?

im not sure, i was wondering the consequences myself? i know some activators are an anaerobic process, like EM for example...
