[USCC] Oxygen In Compost

[John A. Crockett]

I am observing indications that CO2 > 4% in compost appears to suppress the
activity of aerobic bacteria.  Does anyone else have information on this?

I see indications that this deserves more research.  If CO2 > 4% does, in
fact, inhibit microbial activity, then it seems very important to hold the
CO2 level below 4%.

I observed this in compost that is getting 9.6 times its own volume, in
fresh air, every hour, 24/7, and is maintaining temperatures in the 151 -
164° (Fahrenheit) range.

Since the aeration system utilizes our Dynamic Bio-Filtering technology,
there is no foul odor getting beyond the compost and aeration system. While
there is significant foul odor in the air coming out of the early stage food
compost, those odors are contained within the aeration system, and our
Dynamic Bio-Filters are successfully scrubbing the foul odors.
