Re: Compost & Racoons

Hi All~
     
     With all this wonderful adivice on making compost, I'm going to give it a
try.  One question..Does anyone have any problems with racoons or any animals 
attracted to/bothering their pile?  I know you aren't supposed to add any 
meat, etc. but I'm thinking of kitchen scraps in general.  I know they like 
corn, but do they go for any of the other stuff? Or will being well mixed in 
stop the problem?
     
     The reason I ask is a pair of racoons who give me nightly visits to
scrounge birdseed.  Help!
     
     Carolyn,
     
     I have raccoons and possums, none of which have ever disturbed my 
     compost pile. (Perhaps all the coffee grounds would keep them up all 
     day!) I just make sure to bury the kitchen scraps quite well.
