Compost Question

16 years ago

I know some store bought seeds made it into the compost pile. And through no fault of my own left over tomato plants

from last year.

I also know that my compost gets pretty hot.

I can make it hot to the touch up to hurting for no soft hands.

I'm guessing 130F, maybe up to 160f at times.

Any idea at what temperature tomato seeds will no longer survive?

What about the various tomato pathogens?

Something must be surviving to make it so hot. Just as long as its not athroconase / late blight / tomato seeds I'm OK with that.
