am up early today
the temperature in the compost is 37c getting close to the first target of 40c which is impressive as the majority of the mixture was sitting in the chamber for over a year and was very wet and at first i thought i would have to remove it. By simply adding dry cardboard to the mix and rotating the drum constantly the cardboard has soaked up the extra moisture has given the right conditions for the Bactria to get working.
i have been adding my own food waste to the mix everyday and had a small bag of grass clipping into it .however i will have to pay a visit to Vauxhall City Farm and get1/2 a barrel of there lovey farmyard muck to add some bulk to the chamber as its very noticeable how much compost has been consumed.
the guide is one part green waste to 2 parts brown waste
the exta bulk in the chamber should raise the temperature to a level to kill of harmful pathogens.
