It appears that adequate aeration early in the process also encourages a microbial community that is antagonistic to potential pathogenic organisms. … Continue reading →

Temperatures > 55 C are required for at least a few days to  achieve pathogen kill during composting. We would then naturally agree that if the high temperature requirement was not met, we would have a higher risk of potential … Continue reading →
