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

Our present large heap is not covered and takes an age to rot down but on
our previous allotment we had a "hot box" type heap, insulated on all sides
and top with thick polystyrene, which used to produce two lots of compost
per year and often the centre was ash showing how hot it had got. No weed
seeds survived that!
