And at the Bowral Public School Markets on the 2nd Saturday of the month (bar January). Curly’s Compost Process Curly trucks in the raw materials and sets them out in windrows at his Penrose property. The ingredients - aged turkey, cow and stable mulch - begin to decompose mainly under the action of mesophilic bacteria. As the pile heats up these give way to the heat-loving thermophilic bacteria which accelerate the composting. The piles are mixed and turned to aerate the material to maintain the composting rate as the main thermophilic workers are aerobic and need lots of oxygen to continue to function effectively. The turning also ensures that all seeds are cooked and broken down. The mixing and turning is repeated up to eight times depending on weather conditions. As the hot phase finishes and the heap cools again the mesophilic bacteria reactivate to finish the process. |
