Moisture Factor in Composting

Moisture is one of the necessary conditions in the composting process and nutrients can only be absorbed by microorganisms when mixed with water. The best water content of compost raw materials is usually around 50-60%. 

Moisture Factor in Composting

Composting, carbon nitrogen ratio, humidity, oxygen and ventilation interaction, temperature, PH value, raw material size of composting, etc. It is a complex biochemical reaction process that can be affected by many factors such as

Too low humidity (less than 30%) affects microorganism activity and makes it difficult to decompose organics, while too high humidity slows down the composting rate and causes anaerobic decomposition, odor formation and nutrient bleeding.

The humidity of the composting material is also closely related to the ventilation capacity of the compost machine and the structural strength of the compost material. If the water content is over 60%, it will expel the air, then the materials will be compact and the compost will develop towards anaerobic direction, at this time the ventilation should be strengthened. On the contrary, if the humidity is less than 20 percent, the microorganism will sign and affect its growth.
