"Attracting rodents" is reason #1, #2 and #3!


To test whether the "diggers" were attracted to my compost,
I left the fence open the past two days at my compost pile:

Checking this morning, I don't see evidence of animals
digging up the salmon or steak bones yet ...

While discussing compost piles, I thought you might appreciate a
real compost pile:

The fence is 6ft high. Last years leaves are compacted and partly
broken down.


Wow, the wife would never tolerate that pile. I had to pitch a fit to
get two 4" square bins accepted. :-)
