Moisture is a important component in the composting cycle.  In addition to oxygen, the metabolic processes of microorganisms require an adequate amount of hydration.  The HCL water trailer complements our turners by providing the necessary water flow to the water manifold and, ultimately, to the hydrating spray nozzles.  For additional information regarding compost hydration visit the following water fact sheet. Est. 1947 HCL stocks 3 ft. compost thermometers.  Controlling the temperature of a pile is as important as properly managing hydration and oxygen levels.  The clear, easy-to-read dial, with the pointer directly driven by the sensitive bi- metal helix in the bottom of the stem, gives an accurate reading every time.  For more information pertaining to compost temperatures please see the following temperature fact sheet.
