Step 8 — Bind sandfilled pipes about 4" to 6" in diameter along the edges of the Compost Cover using the straps provided. This step will keep the Compost Cover stable during high winds. Sandbags are also helpful for sealing and holding down the edges. A 4 to 6-inch perferated pipe (available at any home improvement store) is suitable for the aeration header. (Barry Byers)
