Bugs

When I put the lid on the compost bucket last night, I did not seal it tightly.

Y'know, some people poke fun at Luther for what he said about mice and bugs. He agreed with Aristotle that, though it is obvious mice give birth to mice, mice also originate from decay. Luther also said dung beetles come from horse manure.

What if they DO? If I leave the lid on the compost bucket, there aren't bugs in it. But when I left the lid of the compost bucket loose, there were gazillions of little fruit flies and gnats. They weren't in the house before. It sure looks like they sprang out of the cantaloupe rinds and garlic peels!

I wonder how long till all these little pests die off?
Well, one lesson learned about the compost bucket ....
