We used to do that, once I figured out how to stop the rodents.
In the end our local council started collecting food waste which was a lot less hassle for us and we could include bones. We get to collect free compost once a year.

- tonyedgecombe 2y agoI used a traditional bin[1], drilled some holes in the bottom and buried it 12 inches into the ground. Prior to that we had a bin with a door at the bottom but the rodents always gnawed away at the door and got in.

- WalterBright 2y agoYou can't stop the rodents.
- onemoresoop 2y agoYou can invite their predators to take care of them.
- debacle 2y agoIf you are in a remotely suburban area, a 10' tall post near the compost pile will act as a raptor perch and take care of most of your issues. Alternately, a "hot" compost setup generally is not amiable to rodents or other mammals.
