neat idea!! I've wondered about it and how well it really works so this is cool to read. We've got massive compost heaps filled with weeds and garden debris but I have stopped putting food scraps in it because of mice. Sometimes I'll pop them in the freezer and make a mash for the chickens (because they'll eat it cooked but not raw - divas) and of course we've got two hard-working garbage disposals called Molly and Mischa who don't mind cleaning up the plates.
