Hi M1... Don't cover them and I would not use fresh grass cuttings as a mulch as they can get quite hot inside the pile like in a compost heap.. Rather some dry straw just to keep them from drying out in our current heat wave... finally some sun!!!

Make sure it is dry STRAW, I used hay and after a rainy night it all went soft and soggy.

Still, you live and learn.

Cheers, Tony.
