I turned my pile for the 3rd time yesterday. This is definitely the hottest it's gotten. I tried to get the steam coming off the pile in the video, but it doesn't show up well. My question is, at what point do I become concerned ( already there), and what can I do to prevent it from going critical? It has gotten to the 160 mark before, but it doesn't appear to be plateauing this time around.
The pile is 4x4x4 foot pile, kitchen straps, chicken manure, coffee grounds, cardboard, straw, old leaves and some old potting soil that needed to be tossed. Oh, and pee. I did add some moisture to the drier material yesterday when I was tossing it, but if it was already looking kinda wet I didn't add anything.
