Hi all,
I'm fairly new to gardening and wondered how all of you keep roaches, ants
and rodents out of your compost heaps? My compost bin is very
low-tech...just a large bucket. Should I keep it sealed at all times?
Thanks for any and all comments,

If you keep the bucket sealed, you will have anerobic bacteria as the
only thing causing decomposition. That won't smell too good.

What are you putting in the compost? Bugs usually won't bother with
yard wastes.
