many varmints around to add kitchen waste to the pile.

Does anyone have an efficient, varmint proof system to compost kitchen
wastes in? I'm thinking some thing in the range of 25 to 50 gallons, that
tumbles easily.

It might also make a difference to know I'm located in Northern WI.


Thanks

I precompost them in a garbage can with a strong lid. The racoons or
mice will not eat stuff that has already rotten. You only need a thaw
or two and it will go inedible. There are still a few things that will
not go bad easily, in my case only squash seeds and radicchio roots,
but all in all I find very little varmint traffic. In fact I get much
more traffic in my regular garbage, every time, say, I throw away meat
packaging.
