Some people don't seen to realize that we are just inoculating a batch of sausage with a mix of beneficial bacteria and that those bacteria will multiply rapidly in the conditions specified.
Like yeast for bread you don't need very much to get things started. If I take as much dry yeast as will lay on the handle of a teaspoon and mix it with 8 ounces of flour and 8 ounces of water and allow it to grow for 24 hours it will be adequate for a 5 pound batch of bread. You just need a few seeds to plant a garden.
