Cohousing-L Mailing List: Rat-proof composting

[Alicia George (ajgeorge]

Takoma Village is a very urban community with 43 households. We built a 
three-bin rat-proof composting system based on the Compost Knox design created 
by Urban Farm Plans:  https://urbanfarmplans.com/products/compost-knox

The person who spearheaded construction of the new bins did a lot of research 
first and also spoke with the folks responsible for composting at recreation 
centers in the city. This is what they recommended.

Rats are an inevitable feature of the urban landscape, so we needed to address 
that issue. It took a while to get all three bins built, but the system has 
been working well.
