Default Do you compost?

Tried it in vain. Composting would be great here, if it were allowed to
work as advertised. Ants are the problem. Any kitchen leftovers with
vegetable or animal protein is promptly attacked and drug off. Includes
immediate burial stuff. The ants won't go away, tried Amdro etc. They keep
coming back like Michael Myers. No, not building/buying an elevated compost
bin.


YOU need to read up on composting. No animal proteins, no animal fats!
Compost piles are not garbage heaps, and vice versa.

patience is required, too
