What method is used to measure composting temperature?
What hours of the day and how often can the temperature be taken?
Using thermometer alcohol, just stacked it into compost material. wait for 5 minutes until the thermometer shows a stable temperature. Usually, I checked the compost twice a day, morning and afternoon.
Temperature is an important factor in the composting process along with the CN ratio, moisture content, pH and aeration. Two to three location selected for temperature. A core temperature taken 4 feet or more into the compost pile and a near-surface temperature taken about 12 inches below the surface. These routine temperature observations are typically collected at a height of around 4 feet. Use a probe that extends far into the compost to get accurate temperature readings. After allowing time for the reading to stabilize, relocate the probe to a new site. Take readings at various depths from the top and sides, as well as at various positions. You will need a long-probe thermometer (typically 4 feet in length) to measure the temperature of the compost by taking readings from the center of the window static pile. When getting temperature readings from an active windrow or static pile,The microbes involved in the aerobic composting process (Compost Microbes) fall into two groups:
Mesophilic those that are active in temperatures of (10 °C to 45 °C) and
Thermophilic active at 45°C to 70°C.

A défaut de thermomètre, dans notre zone, on enfonce un bois dans le tas et on apprécie le niveau de chaleur au fur et a mesure en introduisant la main
La température lors du compostage (peut s'avérer utile); il faut la suivre à l'aide d'un thermomètre enregistreur (choisir l'instrument adéquate) pour cette manipulation. Bon courage!
La température est facteur biotique; sa mesure est à effectuer à l'aide d'instruments classiques (thermomètre enregistreur), là il s'agit de mesures continues pour se rendre compte des variations de températures qui se produisent durant le compostage. Ce facteur peut en effet expliquer certains phénomènes........
