How to HOT compostDo I need to use the thermometer? If you are composting food waste and want to ensure it will not turn anaerobic, or want to be sure of maximum pathogen and weed destruction, then you need to know the compost is working at 50-60°C. (Steam coming off does not indicate 60°C). What should I do with additional thermometer? Place the thermometer in to the top / centre of the waste. Try keep it in the top 5- 10 cm as this is the hottest and most active part of the HOTBIN. Make sure when you're adding new waste that you remove it or it may get lost in the heap! How does the HOTBIN insulation work? The ARPRO® material used to manufacture the HOTBIN offers outstanding insulation thanks to the millions of tiny air pockets within the 50mm walls. This provides excellent resistance to thermal conductivity and heat transfer which means HOTBIN stays hot and retains the heat generated by the bacteria.
