Composting

Too hot? 100C (212F)


I went outside to check the compost this morning and it's an astounding 100 degree Celsius!

It's about 1 cubic metre mainly bark chips with kitchen scraps and garden waste. I turned it over about 2 weeks ago after we cleaned out our pantry of old expired foodstuffs and also put in some fresh lawn clippings.

Thoughts? I'm pretty inpressed, the previous max I had reached was about 75C

(yes that's a pee bottle)

    Jesus Christ, literally boiling temperature for water. That’s crazy

  2. Damn ya that’s impressive but way too hot. Killing a lot of the beneficial bacteria that could in there. Usually want to turn and water if it gets to 150-160 fahrenheit
