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
