It's hot at one thirty

It takes over one hundred thirty degrees to kill seeds and pathogens that are present, even in "Clean Green" compost material.
The other components also required for the task are moisture as well as oxygen.
In order to maintain our STA certification and properly compost our products, we check temperature consistently to assure compliance with this minimum temperature required.

By rolling and spreading our windrows forward, then again reconstructing them into another windrow oxygen is added, which stops the material from becoming anaerobic, and promotes the microbial action that is generating the heat.
