Hello. If you have flies around your "compost" you do not have a
working compost pile, you have a heap of garbage. A properly built,
hot compost pile kills pathogens and pests, it doesn't attract them.
Rodale press (no connection to me) publishes books and a mag which
detail how-to-build and what-to-use. Best, Marnia
