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?

All things green, outdoors, and nature-y. Whether it's animals in their natural habitat, hiking trails and mountains, or planting a little garden for yourself (and everything in between), you can talk about it here.

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.
