Raccoons are smart. The first week they learned how to unlatch the door on the composter, so I put a locking ring on it.
The ring still gives about 3 inches, and look at the mess two fat trash pandas can make with 3 inches of give on the door! There's not much food visible because they ate it.
So I put the compost in the wheel barrow, pulled the stakes, laid down chicken wire, and created a special barrier in front of the door.
Take that, you wiley racoons!
@MelissaHDavis Raccoons are a yearly battle for us. We live next to a campground where campers must think they are cute or something. The raccoons dig up my flower pots. I guess they are looking for grubs. So far, they have never figured out the composter. Knock on wood!
Hope your plan works!
@MelissaHDavis Good luck! I'm rooting for you!
@MelissaHDavis Ah, raccoons-nothin' like them, except them...
