When rain or snow is forecasted, take the following steps to ensure safe and efficient compost delivery:
- Place a Large Tarp on the Driveway/Gravel Pad: This will prevent water from carrying compost away and minimize drainage issues.
- Cover the Top of the Compost with a Tarp: This prevents leaching, drainage problems, and excess water while also minimizing heat entrapment caused by enclosed moisture.
- Remove the Tarp After Delivery: Once the compost has been delivered, remove the tarp from the top to allow the pile to breathe and maintain proper airflow.
