Abstract
A composting aeration system is provided with a central air duct that is placed in open fluid communication with a plurality of elongated aeration strips, which form a portion of a supporting surface for composting material. One or more aeration hubs or manifolds may be used to place the aeration strips in open fluid communication with the central air duct. The aeration hubs may be provided to selectively vary the fluid flow through the system and substantially limit the passage of debris from the aeration strips to the central air duct. Components to the system are removably coupled with one another to provide ease of cleaning and maintenance between composting operations.
