Covering a compost heap - is it a good idea?
Or is it better to leave the top open?

Better to cover it so that it rots down quicker

Is that to keep it warm or to keep rain off?

Both i think, if it gets too wet it may go mushy/smelly and to retain some
heat at least.I have covered mine with those 1 ton builders merchant
delivery bags with the two handles.But you could cover with card board and
let it rot in,or old carpet is good and long lasting.
