Bury them deeper to avoid this problem. This video shows too shallow a depth. I also put mine in mcdonalds brown paper bags as an added layer of protection that decomposes with the veg scraps
I know what you mean. I have a compost pile mixed with dirt. By the time winter came and I checked the pile, there was 6-7 mice living in the dirt/compost pile and they scattered everywhere 😄 Next I put a tarp over it, and they still made a restaurant/home in the pile. So I took some cow mature I had left over a couple years ago and no more mice. No other animals went in my pile tho.
@@godfirst6880 depending on how much compost you have, you could use a cheap plastic garbage can with a lid to help keep the smaller pests like mice out
I know this isn’t an option for everyone, but we take care of of compost 2 ways, chickens and worms. Chickens eat nearly everything, and anything that would be harmful to the chickens we throw in a worm bin. We also feed the chickens a decent amount of the worms.
I am not sure how much you have put in, but dig bit deep and add some carbon material like dried leaves or cardboard or shredded paper in it as well if it smell alot. Atlease 12 inch under the soil.
I know it’s been a while so you may have solved your issue already, but you could either get the cheapest lump charcoal you can find at the store or make your own, grind it down to small pieces, then mix it in with the scraps or spread a thin layer on top, that should help the smell and make the soil even better.
WOW
The animals don't dig them up???🤔
I did that and my yard became an "all you can eat" buffet for the wild animals😮😮😮

@meepmeep7165 but I know that if you bury them too deep the plants may not reach the nutrients. What's the right depth then?🤷🏻♀️

I do this with no animal damage. If you are worried about that put a large stone over the area
