Dear PF Forum,
There are four composting stages that I read in these links.

1. Mesophilic
2. Thermophilic
3. Cooling down
4. Maturation
Thermophilic is easy to detect, that it's hot.
Now, I want to know about this mesophilic stage.
What is the characteristic of mesophilic stage?
How do we know that the composter is in mesophilic stage?
Do we have to open the bin and extract its content? Even if we do that, then how do we know that it's in mesophilic stage?
Thanks for the reply
