Compost Bins and Rats
We live adjacent to cattle sheds and a bale stack. We are unfortunately blessed with an ideal home for rats. Fortunately not in the house, but there are warrens running under our lawn, they live in the cavity walls of our outbuildings and they even congregate in our car bonnets when it's cold. Its soooooo grim!
Anyway, I've always wanted to start my own compost heap/bin but have always thought, surely it will be just one more thing that will attract the rats?? Does anyone have any advice? Maybe there are ways/prosicts to keep it rat free?
Any advice welcome

In addition to all this, I have a family of stray cats on the property along with 2 owls I've heard ( but haven seen yet). They also keep things a bay.
