Keeping green manure/compost

[Veg newbie]

I have just got an allotment and my neighbour asked if I wanted to share a load of compost. I am not ready to use it all yet so was wondering how I could keep it on the plot until I am ready to use and how long would it last?

Just cover over and it will continue to compost, you will be able to use it in the spring.

and to clear up any confusion, green manure isn't compost, it's a crop grown to enrich the soil
