Preparing to Turn a row.
We monitor temperature and CO2 (oxygen) readings daily as well as moisture content.
BUILDING Humus Process. After rows have reached temperature of 130 degreees to 150 degrees for 15 days and maintained oxygen level to keep them aerobic we combine two rows into 1 row. We continue turning the rows and still monitor temperature readings.
All of our rows are covered after we turn them. This helps protect them from the environment but also aids in the break down and build up processes.
We try to make sure we have our site as neat and tidy as possible.
