[USCC] Forced Aeration

[Koch, Jean]

Hi,

 

I am considering using forced aeration to maintain compost quality in a
storage pile. The compost is yard waste, grass clippings, and horse
manure. Does anyone have experience using forced air in an open or
covered pile for storage or to move immature compost to a more compact
space? Does anyone have schematics, plans, recommendations on blowers,
pipes, etc? Are there any composters using such systems in the San
Francisco Bay Area which I could visit? Thanks- any and all suggestions
are welcome!
