How Hot do your Hot Composters Get?

When the micro-organisms are actively breaking down waste, energy is released. How warm the compost gets depends on what you have put in together with levels of oxygen and moisture. The micro-organisms work at between 2 and 75 degrees Celsius. Different micro-organisms work at different temperatures. The optimum working temperature in the composter will be around 45-65 degrees plus.
