Diary of a Compost Pile - April 14

Today I'm featuring another diary entry by guest author Fertilemyrtle Rottenpile, the compost pile built during my Basic Compost Workshop. --- Eric

Dear Diary,

It's me, Fertilemyrtle Rottenpile.

Is it hot in here, or is it just me? My temperature this morning was about 130 degrees! About 5 degrees more and I will be hot enough to pasteurize pathogens and kill weed seeds!


Master Eric pretty much left me alone today --- just peeked at my thermometer and went about his business. I think this is a good sign. For now, I’d just like to be alone and build up my temperature.
