To cover or not to cover?

[tuttle]

i keep a load of tarps, different sizes.

 

i cover when it rains or snows, rest of the time uncovered.

 

when split, the store is west facing.

Do you not get isues with mold this way? do you stack or just throw in a pile?

 

No issues with mould. I try to stack billets but the inevitable small stuff gets stacked too, all on pallets. The tarp is 'roof only.

Re the mould issue... I wouldn't put poplar into a pile that was going to spend a winter out.
