The cover story
Article Abstract:
It is widely accepted that there are advantages associated with being able to have a covered area for composting, particularly with regard to moisture control. However, constructing a roofed structure to protect a compost pile can be very expensive, and this is why fabric compost covers have been developed. These covers wick moisture that touches the surface of the fabric into the fabric itself, with the moisture then running through the fabric and dripping off the bottom edge. Compost site managers report that covers also bring benefits in controlling nutrient loss and raising windrow temperatures.
