The objectives of this investigation were to add to the limited body of knowledge regarding matric potential curves in organic media, and to determine if matric potential, a common soil measurement, can be used as an indicator of the optimal moisture for achieving maximum composting rates. A hog manure solids and wood shavings (HW) mixture, and a dairy manure, paper mill sludge and seed processing screenings (DPS) mixture were each was composted in pilot-scale bioreactors. Temperature, exhaust 02 and C02 concentration, and gas mass flow were observed. Compost samples were collected from the bioreactors over the course of each experiment for bench-scale testing of matric potential and C02 respiration. Matric potential was measured using pres...
