Then cover it with your cold frame. This keeps the rain off, and allows for the soil to heat up. To much rain could stop the decomposition, which in turn would shut off the heat. It should give off heat for quite some time. 3-4 weeks. maybe. Hottest at first then slowly tapering down. Probably because lack of air to the pit. I have heard of people using pipes to get air into the pile. I don't see the point, if I can get 3-4 weeks, that should be enough to get me through the worst of it. I will check the soil temps in the morning. The cold frame is already condensating heavily, that is a good sign.
