Why can't you put cooked veg in a compost bin? Mine is full of worms
anyway
(how do they get onto the centre of the lid?!).

The logic appears to be that rats will get in if you put cooked food in. I
am not convinced by that logic.

I think the rats are generally more interesed in the worms than the compost.



That is certainly true!
