Re: Compost

Hi all,
Nobody's mentioned rats.  We had enormous ones living in a "pile it  
up and leave it alone" compost heap. They eat anything people eat.  I  
first spotted them at dusk feasting on watermelon rinds.  There were  
no bones, meat, fish, fat etc. etc. in there.  The $500 composters  
have the virtue of being rodent proof which is good in an urban  
situation, at least.  The bottomless black plastic ones are quite  
accessible to vermin.
Best wishes,
