We have a variety of wildlife (in the middle of the suburbs) including deer, squirrels, rabbits, chipmunks, and groundhogs and I've never had either dig into the compost. I bury the food scraps inside so the animals don't smell it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10666540690729586962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676127682369986291.post-51654849598936606762011-10-27T19:43:51.107-04:002011-10-27T19:43:51.107-04:00Thanks for linking this up to the Curious hop.

I'm just not willing to attract any bears in my backyard by composting other things.<br /><br />I hope you'll join us again next week.<br /><br />Laura O in AK<br />http://daybydayinourworld.comLaura O in AKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16553515030417720783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676127682369986291.post-62667528511466177582011-10-26T17:07:52.716-04:002011-10-26T17:07:52.716-04:00I love the idea of using the planters for compost ...I love the idea of using the planters for compost bins. We dump extra leaves in the raised garden bed, which also helps to keep that soil nutritious. <br /><br />Are your compost bins with worms the planters or something different? I've been thinking about worm bins, but not sure how to do it without spending a lot of money for the setup.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10666540690729586962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676127682369986291.post-86959851154869734572011-10-26T00:46:20.967-04:002011-10-26T00:46:20.967-04:00Excellent!

We gather up leaves to use in the bins and to spread around the few plants that spend the winter outside. It works great. My compost bins house worms and they love the dried leaves. In the spring I have nutrient-rich soil for growing. And the great thing is that I never have to buy dirt. :-) So even people who live in apartments or small spaces can compost those leaves.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18323775808390175925noreply@blogger.com
