9 Microbes Need Balanced Diet? Balanced diet C:N ratio Carb (C) and nitrogen (N) for best cooking temp C energy source N nutrient source Ideal C:N = 25 35:1
10 Ideal Cooking Conditions C:N 25-35:1 Moisture 45-60% (wt.) Particle size <1 inch Bulk density 1000 lbs/yd 3 (600 kg/m 3 ) ph Temp F (54 60 C)
11 Of Course!!! Should I Stir While Cooking? Aerate Fresh air for microbes Refresh Remove odors from decomposition products. e.g. ammonia
12 Why and How Long Should I Cook? Break down Organic material Destroy pathogens Active Phase Curing Phase
