    If there were only gardening threads, it would suggest that is all gardeners talk about, which imo would be rather dull. Most gardeners like to have a natter over the garden fence.

    Rat proofing composter

    Maybe your compost is too dry? Try watering it every now and again - I've read it should be like a moist sponge, and that's not comfortable for rodents.
