A minute amount of garden soil or manure is common microorganisms.Nitrogen, air and water, a favorable environment for microorganisms to make compost. The circulation of air and water, microorganisms and healthy work. The nitrogen is fed to small agencies.

Not too cold nor too hot. The temperature will rise for several days if you have a good ratio of carbon and nitrogen to maintain much of what is measured in a large amount of material and provide moisture and aeration.
