Has anyone used woven ground cover to cover a compost pile.
I have a tarp on mine, thought woven ground cover mite let more air into the pile, as well as rain. Being dark color may help hold some heat?
Thanks for opinions.

Never covered mine, not had any issues

Do you mean like a trampoline?
As above, I've always left uncovered.

I interpret "woven ground cover" as weed block or landscape fabric.

The two functional (vs aesthetic) reasons I know for covering a compost pile are: to retain moisture in extremely hot, dry weather, and to prevent excess moisture in extremely rainy weather. I suppose if it's a big, loose heap in windy conditions a tarp would help keep it from blowing away. Do you have any of those conditions? Knowing why you want to cover your compost pile would help determine what, if any, material would be most effective.

Large outdoor pile,though the black woven ground cover( landscape fabric) 1, let some rain into the pile,2, help keep some heat in the pile during the winter.3 letsome air into the pile as opposed to a tarp would cut off all air flow.
The woven ground cover fabric used by market gardener's is said to let some air,water threw,and being black may help with heat in the winter.
Thank you all for comments.

I can't see that covering your pile will hurt, but I don't think it will help compost the materials more efficiently. Might help keep it tidy.
I doubt it will have any insulating qualities in freezing weather. Do be advised that the thin black product found at garden stores deteriorates much faster when exposed to the elements, vs lying flat covered with mulch as it's designed for. I confess I'm having trouble saying anything positive about that particular product — not fond of the stuff.

The fabric I'm thinking of is used by market gardener's, probably a heavier grade. My market gardener friends, say it can last 5 yrs.
Was thinking the black fabric would help draw more heat to the pile on sunny winter days,while letting some water and air into the pile.
Personally I don't use it in the garden or landscape either
Thanks everyone.

I have used my lightweight non woven landscape fabric as a sort of leaf pile cover, with little apparent help. It was too thin to insulate or heat, and did not stop the pile drying.
I don't think what you suggest is worth buying the material. My guess.

Thanks Sallyg.
