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

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).

Which brings up a question I had. I was going to use "The Greensheet" as
a weed-stop mechanism, but read that some papers use lead in their ink.
How are we to know which use lead ink and which ones don't?
