The Basics / Re: Compostin Tinned Veg
« Last post by JanG on January 29, 2024, 08:06:35 »The advice is usually not to put cooked food (and raw meat) on a compost heap because it may attract rats. I'm not sure why peelings are OK but not the cooked vegetable! So adding a large quantity of tinned veg in fatty oil might not be a good idea, but smaller amounts stirred well in are probably OK unless there's a rat problem already.I’m not convinced by the rat argument as in my experience rats happily eat raw food too. I know for sure that rats love, for example, raw apples, walnuts etc, so I think rats are likely to enjoy a compost heap anyway.
