Hi! I live in an apartment with a front and back porch, designed much like a duplex. I have a very small yard space, not fenced. I've collected fruit, veggie, eggshell and paper products in huge pickle jars and I plan to mix that with the soil I've purchased and mix it in a plastic storage bin and use as needed.
My question is, if I keep the bin outside, in the bin, should I drill a few small holes in the bottom to allow nature (bugs and things) in and oxygen? Is it OK to keep the bin covered with an airtight lid (this is to keep rodents out), and will leaving this bin outside, covered attract rodents?
I'm really excited about this and I want to be successful! When I was in a house, doing this was so much easier and I don't remember any rodent issues. Apartment living is different because I have to be considerate of neighbors and adhere to my lease (keeping tidy to avoid attracting rodents and things 🐭).
Thank you! All suggestions are welcome.
