OK: Wet compost in insulated container with aeration,
Mostly grass clippings.
How can I tell when the process is done ? I.E. When the pathogens and seeds are dead ? Drew |
To get the heat you would need to kill seeds and pathogens is going to
require about 1cu yd of compost as a minimum. Compost is "done" when you no longer recognize the ingrediants that went in. Seems to me you are making too much work out of this. I defy anyone to pile up damp organic material and have it not rot. |
What about the Grass Seeds ?
How do I kill them ? drew |

Drew It's going to get mushy in the center, probably within a couple of days. It's best to find some dried fluff to mix in. Will leaves be falling soon where you live? |
Yes. I live in Eastern Ohio, Leaves are falling from my Red Maple
already. There are a lot of trees in the neighborhood and i plan to use them as a winter cover. drew |

Easier if you have a bag attachment, but not necessary. Mix with the grass, about half & half. |
Thank you.
