Yes great Marty, but too much rain then cover with tarp😊

Depends on age of compost, yes I would if it was just about ready to harvest and it was raining hard

We've been getting flooded here last year spring, this spring and last winter so we keep compost covered. Raw kitchen scraps and garden pruning hold water enough and brown leaves layers covered with tarp. Zone 6b USA.

100% spot on advice green shade cloth but not black on the top layers during summer question .In your piles do you turn them with a fork occasionally ? I have to to mix in many KG of coffee grounds here in WA the worms go birko when done that way

At the start I turn more otherwise it gets too hot. But once it’s cool I just feed the top, which I showed in a recent video. Thanks a lot for sharing here, it’s really enjoyable hearing from others. Oh yer they go crazy on coffee grounds and it makes superb worm castings in my opinion

Thanks Marty, I just went outside and covered my horse manure x rubbish tip mulch composting now for 6 months its full of worms on the outside and 120F on the inside.

They move to the outside if it’s too hot, just be careful when turning

G'day Marty, the most important reason NOT use your good canvas tarp is because the worms will eat it. Have a great day and happy gardening everyone 💚

Hehe in time they may try, but these canvas tarps are invincible
