We should also consider some rules of thumb for<br />

composting<br />

1.<strong>Compost</strong>ing is optimized at moisture contents of 50-65%,<br />

and bulk densities of 600 to 700 kg per cubic meter<br />

2.<strong>Compost</strong>ing will result in a 30-50% volume loss depending<br />

on process conditions<br />

3.Static aerated systems require greater porosity to prevent<br />

preferential air pathways<br />

4.The amount of drying depends mostly on the<br />

temperature above the composting material<br />

5.<strong>Compost</strong>ing is very corrosive, use appropriate building<br />

material
