My first compost pile attracted so many cockroaches, I had to wear tall boots just to imagine approaching it. Now we have an enclosed barrel thing on a stand which works very well. It's made of thick black plastic, so we have to locate it where it won't get too hot - not a problem for you, I'm sure. However, as long as we keep the contents damp, in the shade, and cranked over every week or so, it works quite well. It's so nice, as you say, to have some means for improving the soil.clairzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12076402619649343527noreply@blogger.com
