Optimal composting occurs at temperatures between 55°F (13°C) and 100°F (38°C). Within this range, the aerobic bacteria that break down waste are most active, leading to efficient composting and odor control. At lower temperatures, the composting process slows down, as microbial activity decreases. Conversely, if the temperature gets too high, it can kill the beneficial bacteria or lead to excessive moisture loss, hindering the composting process. The Air Head is designed to maintain a balanced environment for composting, but it’s beneficial to be mindful of external temperatures.
