Re: Mice in the Compost

Hi Geneva!  Try this link to City Farmers's compost bin design website.:
http://www.cityfarmer.org/homecompost4.html

Remember too that not all composting technology that is suitable for the farm in one zone can be imported into the
city in another zone. You may have to fine-tune your rules about what goes into the composter- especially in the winter...

Subject:    [cg] Mice in the Compost

Greetings;

I am looking for organic ways to keep mice out of the
compost bin.  We currently have bins made from
recycled lumber, with gaps between the boards, and
found many mice and their nests when turning over the
compost after the winter.  How can we keep them out of
existing bins, and how can we better design future
bins to keep them out?

Shade and Sweet Water,
Jeneva
