One more thing Connie, don't put kitchen waste into the compost if racoons
are visiting. This will cause them to return night after night.
A funny story about racoon from my school days. I was camping out in the
Adirondacks on a state regulated site on an island in Lake George. My father
thought we were all crazy and also starved trying to feed outselves from a
campfire. He being from NYC thought a bunch of deli sandwiches and a great
big cheescake was the answer. That nice man drove up to Lake George with all
that food. We ate the sandwiches and stored the cheescake under some sort of
cover on our picnic table. In the night there was all kinds of noise on our
site. My three companions, all women, were frozen with fear. We armed
ourselves with everything we could find in the tent, bravely snapped on a
flashlight and found our site overrun with racoons eating my father's
cheescake. We are all still aware of that night.
