hot composting
Fast organic breakdown
Hot composting is an accelerated decomposition method that generates temperatures of 130–160°F through careful management of carbon, nitrogen, moisture, and oxygen.
Unlike passive cold composting, which can take a year or more, hot composting produces finished compost in weeks.
The heat kills weed seeds and pathogens: We hot compost our kitchen scraps and have usable soil amendment within two months.
