That's right, you don't have to worry about E. coli and whether the compost
was properly brought to temperature, with adequate oxygen, with Alaska Humus.
 

You could use Alaska Humus to inoculate a compost you aren't sure about, and
with a few weeks incubation at 50% moisture (just wet enough to get a single
drop of moisture when you squeeze), with decent aeration, no high
temperatures produced, you should also see E. coli gone.

The garlic is for your compost tea. I'm sure it would do some interesting
things in your compost, but we haven't tested....
