Subject: RE: I need guidnace on turning corn stover into compost


Iowa
Started doing some composting this year with several different products on our farm. I'm not the expert, but here is what I know...

C to N ratio is critial
We do windrows, so a compost turner helps stir the batch to get a complete mix
Gotta monitor temperature REGULARLY as some mixes can get really hot really fast and then spontaneously combust

There are some software programs out there that can help you figure out if your C:N ratio will work out.
