Risks in the Garden26 February 2021 | HOTBIN Composting Gardening Health Risks Gardening can be relaxing and even therapeutic for some, but both gardening and composting do not come without their own risks.

Composting is a natural process involving bacteria and fungi which can be carried out in a safe manner as it has done for thousands of years, Hot composting is named due to the temperatures it can reach which could also be a risk, so we always recommend:
If you are concerned about the temperatures HOTBIN can reach, 60°C is the temperature of very hot tap water and the HOTBIN can get hotter than this, bacteria will stop working at approximately 72°c as they become too hot, therefore the internal temperature of the HOTBIN will not go much above this.
