Default Composting cooked vegetables

My bins are being relocated, and having discovered a family of mice in

some weld mesh placed on the ground and the compost bins on top of that

I've only ever had a problem with rodents living in a compost bin once
in the many years I've used them, and that was due to the compost being
too dry. I think maybe you had the same problem? I always try to keep
mine somewhere between moist and wet - I don't think they make a nice
place for rodents to live. The compost seems to break down fastest when
moist too.
