When performing tarp aeration outdoors with wind, which part of the tarp should be lifted first?

When performing tarp aeration outdoors in windy conditions, lifting the end opposite the direction of wind movement is crucial for safety and efficiency. By starting at this end, you prevent the wind from catching the tarp and causing it to flap or billow unexpectedly. This method keeps better control over the tarp, minimizing the risk of accidents such as the tarp being blown away or creating an unsafe working environment.

Additionally, this approach allows for more effective ventilation, as the wind will naturally help to move the gases or residue underneath the tarp away from the area being ventilated. By lifting the tarp from the least windy side, you mitigate the risk of having the tarp unexpectedly lifted or displaced by strong gusts, ensuring a safer process while maintaining the proper flow of air.
