All depends on how much you are adding. It's potent stuff and can be detrimental to microbes. I would think you can use a spray bottle and just spritz the top of the pile.

Another way might be diatomaceous earth powder sprinkled around and on the pile. It will become a harmless part of the compost.

The ammonia should dissipate in minutes and not be a problem.

Caution should be used whenever using powders esp. diatomaceous earth - not to breath that stuff in. Check MSDS on it. http://www.sciencelab.com/msds.php?msdsId=9923703

"Ammonia converts to Nitrogen and Nitrogen converts to Ammonia."

Kimmsr, can you show me the chemical reaction for those two conversions?

The nitrogen cycle is fascinating. This might be more to the point:

Kimmsr,

That's just a definition of ammomia.

It doesn't describe chemically how "Ammonia converts to Nitrogen and Nitrogen converts to Ammonia" in a compost pile when you add ammonia.

Do you know what you are talking about or are you just blowing smoke out your fundament?

All very interesting and thanks for the comments and links. I think there will be no harm using the ammonia in the small amount I do and maybe even some benefit.

Blue Goat, don't be like that.
