We have teenagers who put 3 stale pieces of pizza in our box. Maggots turn to flies and they swarmmed around the box all summer.
Our house is situated in the upper corner of the lot. Neighborhood doesnt allow any sheds or yard structures.
The box is next to thye deck near the kitchen door.
Yes it has a lid and sluggs abound plus tons of baby red worms .Its grose to empty house scraps so we make SILdo it.
I also compost plant clippings but rarely weeds.Who wants to see them again.!
You can just see the edge of the box at the left.
