With this style of making compost: weed seeds are mostly killed. plant pathogens are eliminated or greatly reduced. decomposition is fairly fast. However, you have to keep in mind that hot composting has certain demands. at least a cubic yard of balanced materials to compost. COMPOSTING IN A FOREST At temperatures over 60˚C or 140˚F it would be wise to do something to cool things down. When you get temperatures of between 70˚C and 80˚C, roughly 160˚ - 175˚F, the biology dies and chemical oxidation is the heat generator.

The pH is a logarithmic scale that goes from 0 to 14 with 0 being most acidic, 7 being neutral and 14 being most alkaline. Because it's a logarithmic scale each jump is a ten fold increase so a soil with a pH of 5 is 10 times more acidicthan

Compost - it's the cornerstone of an organic garden and even chemically inclined gardeners will find it a great ally. The more you know about it and the ecosystem it is, and provides, the more profoundly you'll appreciate it. For me Ellie Schoenfeld's poem, Patriotism, is the perfect tribute to both soil and compost and captures my own feelings about this remarkable and humble servant to the garden.PATRIOTISM
by Ellie Schoenfeld
_

My country is this dirt 
that gathers under my fingernails 
when I am in the garden. 
The quiet bacteria and fungi, 
all the little insects and bugs 
are my compatriots. They are 
idealistic, always working together 
for the common good. 
I kneel on the earth 
and pledge my allegiance 
to all the dirt of the world, 
to all of that soil which grows
flowers and food

for the just and unjust alike. 
The soil does not care 
what we think about or who we love. 
It knows our true substance, 
of what we are really made. 
I stand my ground on this ground, 
this ground which will
ultimately

recruit us all

to its side.

 WHAT DOES COMPOST DO? Compost is a remarkable substance resulting from the decay of organic material such as kitchen scraps, weeds, shredded paper, leaves, and other things we otherwise would just throw away. * Provides low, steady, balanced nutrition to plants. It holds nutrients in the root zone keeping them available for plants to use. * Raises the pH of acid soils and lowers the pH of alkaline soils. It helps keep soil pH in an optimum range for the plants to use the available nutrients. * Enhances soil structure. Clay soils get improved drainage and air pockets. Sandy soils have improved water and nutrient holdingcapacity.
* Suppresses fungal and bacterial plant diseases. * Cleans up petrochemical and munition pollution including most herbicides, pesticides and fungicides as well as TNT. HOW CAN COMPOST DO ALL THAT? Most of us see soil as a static nutrient holder and convenient anchor for plant roots. But whether or not our plants can actually use the soil nutrients depends more on the life in the soil than on nutrients the soil happens to have. Consider this: * A teaspoon full of soil holds billions of probably 10,000 or so species of bacteria and several miles or kilometers of fungi. * A teaspoon full of compost has even more soil life in it. Compost in not a fertilizer, it is an ecosystem. It seeds the soil with billions of diverse life forms who work together to make soilfunction.
Compost works because it feeds and provides a habitat for the soil microorganisms. They are the true miracle workers making the nutrient cycles cycle and ultimately feeding us all - just and unjust alike. -------------------------Top
