How can you prevent bugs going into a compost bin?
Organic material’s a draw for bugs. For healthy soil that has organic matter, and enough air and water pore space, has a food web that includes bugs. Organic matter results from the breakdown of material aerobically, or anaerobically. Aerobic decomposition takes place in the presence of oxygen. It describes the breakdown of compostable material into organic matter, in compost bins. Anaerobic decomposition takes place in the absence of oxygen. Aerobic decomposition brings in the better bugs, and has no smell. It needs proper circulation of air, and distribution of moisture. For compostable material needs to be no moister than a wrung-out sponge. Both air and moisture levels are helped by regularly turning the pile. The more often the turning, the better the distribution of air and moisture, the better the breakdown, and the better the probability of good bugs.
