You certainly can use compost tea to inoculate (kick start) your compost he=
ap. I do it often since I no longer have access to cattle manure. After the=
 hot phase has passed and am doing the final turn, I add whey (Lacto) tea t=
o boost the curing phase.

Other compost starters/inoculants can include, manure, urine or premade com=
post, veg scraps etc - rather use several different types of starter to cre=
ate a diversity of MO's

  I used the fountain for air and circulation and maybe its because I used =
compost that was still cooking and smelled beautiful that it was so active,=
 so fast. I am using the tea on vegetables and herbs and none of it used fe=
rmenters that I know of. So far the plants are booming because of it after =
4 days.
