what is the ideal temperature for a compost pile?

The optimum temperature range is 135° -160° Fahrenheit. Since few thermophilic organisms actively carry on decomposition above 160° F, it is undesirable to have temperatures above this for extended periods.

According to research done by the Helsinki University of Technology, the ideal temperature for productivity is between about 70°F and 72°F. Other research has also shown that the ideal sleeping temperature is between 65°F and 72°F.

The composter contents should be moist like a wrung-out sponge. If the contents are too dry, it will take overly long to compost; and if too wet, the contents may begin to smell. If the pile does not decrease in size or generate heat, composting may need a boost.

A good rule of thumb is to only put fresh scraps into the compost (vegetable peelings, fruit skins, apple cores etc). On average, it takes about three months for a full decomposition, as long as the temperatures are hot and the compost pile stays moist.

Temperatures higher than the maximum growth temperature cause irreversible denaturation of enzymes and therefore cell death. ... mesophiles: include most bacteria, optimum growth temperature is 20 - 45°C. Many pathogens are mesophiles as their preferred temperature is body temperature (37ºC).

Most pathogens grow rapidly at temperatures above 40°F. The ideal temperature for bacterial growth is between 40 and 140°F - what FSIS calls the "Danger Zone." Some bacteria can double their numbers every 20 minutes at temperatures above 40°F.

Heating and Ventilation The ideal temperature inside the greenhouse is about 80 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit, so the first and most important lesson is learning how to keep the internal temperature steady.

The optimum range of soil temperature for cool season grasses is between 18-24 degrees Celsius. Grass will still grow outside of this range, just not as quickly. Different processes in the plant are activated at different temperatures.

Most seeds germinate when the soil temperature is between 68(and 86(F. Once germination occurs, the optimum growing temperature for theseedling is about 10(F cooler than the optimum germination temperature. Moisture is critical for germinating seeds.

Depending on the size of your compost pile, what you put in it, and how you tend to it, this process can take three months to two years. With a Compost Aerator, it's easier to add air to the pile. Aeration gives oxygen-hungry microbes what they need to break down materials faster.

The ideal temperature for bacterial growth is between 40 and 140°F - what FSIS calls the "Danger Zone." Some bacteria can double their numbers every 20 minutes at temperatures above 40°F. In 2 hours, these bacteria can become so great in number that they may cause an illness or form toxins that cause illness.

Temperature: Fungi grow best in warm temperatures. Some species of fungi do grow better at warm temperatures (70-90°F), but there are some that thrive in very high temperatures of 130-150°F and some that will thrive in very low temperatures below 32°F (below freezing).

Gladiolus Soil Temperature Air temperatures between 50 and 77 degrees F produce the best growth, but they'll withstand temperatures up to 104 degrees F with proper irrigation. You can check the soil temperature with a soil thermometer at a depth of 6 inches before planting gladiolus.

Most pathogens grow rapidly at temperatures above 40°F. The ideal temperature for bacterial growth is between 40 and 140°F - what FSIS calls the "Danger Zone."

The best temperature for pressing kief or hash is between 170° and 190° F. I recommend starting at 180° F for 65 seconds and adjusting from there. When pressing kief (or hash) you want to keep the temperature lower, but increase the pressing time.

Ideal temperatures are between 60 – 70 degrees during the day and temperatures in the 50's at night. Conditions for a Good Mushroom season: They say that a heavy snow fall will produce a great season.

Composting: It's sloooooow. A hot compost pile can take 6-9 months to finish. Vermicomposting: Much faster. A vermicompost bin can become “finished” and ready for harvesting in as little as 8-12 weeks.
