A closed compost bin shouldn't attract rats but they are so small and very difficult to turn. The bins not the rats... Us traditional types with more open bins prefer to avoid rats. I would like to claim never to throw any food away, but it is not true, I can't calculate appetite down to the last pea or spud so I put cooked food in my council food-waste bin. Giving it to the birds/foxes/badgers is another way of attracting rats round here and I would never do it. Green potatoes DO insist on growing in the compost sometimes but I just chuck them back in until they submit.

am I the only person who loves the sneaky bonus crop of spuds in the compost bin?
