I'm fairly new to gardening and wondered how all of you keep roaches, ants
and rodents out of your compost heaps?


Elliot Richmond replied:

Keep it moist, well stirred, and well aerated


Do not keep it sealed


Also - do not add meat - keep it to plant material (produce), eggshells,
teabags - newspaper if they use soy ink (if you are going to use your
compost on a vege garden).
