Is Your Compost Pile Sick?

Have you taken your compost pile’s temperature lately?
This is the easiest way to tell if you are really composting! If your pile is between 120° to 160°, then you are successfully composting. If your pile is not getting up to temp, something is out of balance.

• Is your pile too wet?
• Too dry?
• Are you layering bulking agent each time you add food waste to keep a good ratio of carbon and nitrogen?
• Are you mixing too little or too much?

At GMT, we recommend that you take temperature readings regularly to keep your composting process in good health.
