    Very nice read! I was just curious if anyone has any extra information on roofed composters? This article said something about moisture. I’ve always used a non roofed composter and haven’t seem to have any Ill results. Is the moisture content more important than what I think?

      This also very much depends on the climate you are in. If you get lots and lots of rain, you might a roof. If you hardly get any rain at all, you might want to cover up your pile/bin with a tarp or something alike. So yes moisture is definitely very important, but the specifics depend on your situation.

    I like this, it shows there’s always a design possible with whatever materials/scraps you have lying around. And don’t forget the simplest design, if you have the space for it: just a pile on the ground.

    For folks interested, we have a community dedicated to composting over at !composting@slrpnk.net Perhaps you would like to crosspost this over there as well.
