If airing a compost pile is important, why do we need to put a cover?
"on top of a compost bin?
Mid california near Sacramento has a milder climate. Would you still cover the compost so as to not loose heat?
"
A covering over a compost bin will retain heat, which increases the rate of decomposition. Airing can still be done via vents etc, as you’re right that allowing free air movement is important.
It also prevents other elements from entering your pile, such as too much water, from a rain storm etc. Weed seeds could also blow in, and potentially not be killed by the intense heat that builds up in rapidly decomposing compost, which would then be moved to your garden, causing weed invasions.
I’d still cover my pile, in Sacramento, or San Diego.
Hope this helps. Good luck! Rob
