Steamy Compost
    #6591220 - 02/20/07 08:45 PM (16 years, 11 months ago)

I was scoping out a potential area for the coming spring.  The stables dump all of the animal waste which includes hay/woodchips/manure into a naturally low lying drainage area.  They have been doing this for years and years.  Only now, am I interested in what it may hold:smirk:

I was taking a look at how much erosion had occured in this last month of cold and wet weather. It posed my first question...Should I even be looking here?  The dungscape has changed many times since my first outtings.  I do find it to be a highly potential area but is possible that the run-off activity is too much for my fungi?  I have seen lots of Coprinus micaceus and Pan Foe but am still missing my target...

I also had to question just how hot a rotting pile can become?  I somewhat recall hearing that they can spontaneously ignite especially during the hot summer months with windy and dry conditions. 

I have read the at 106F spores die but at what point is it too hot inside of a composting heap for the growth of mycelia?

Out lying spots where the grass is growing but you still have enough dung but not to much...
Compost piles can get well over 200 degrees and have been know to catch fire...

yea, if the compost pile is high at all, it will get to temperatures that would be very likely to kill spores

Is there any kind of shade over it at all? Usually the piles laying out in the sun will just dry up.

Lots of shade...dump site begins on semi-flat land next to thick forest. The runoff from this large flat area pushes the said debri down a small hill into forested low lands (it feeds a small stream). The area below the hill is shady and moist, heaps and heaps of dung/hay/woodchips to sift through.
