Bear-Proof Composting?
I just moved to an area very near a national park and we have heavy evidence of bears (black bears specifically) wandering in the area, alongside the usual cervids. I don't want to attract them any more than necessary, for their safety and mine. Is a tumbler my only option? anyone know good bear-proof tumblers? The bears are smart.
I'm looking to compost food and garden waste, i am vaguely familiar with small-scale composting but any tips for tumblers are appreciated as it's been years since i've had one.
(edit - for clarity, i am also doing independent research and have asked my local gov to confirm that what im doing is legal and can be safe when done right. i am asking for advice past what university extension websites supply, and if it doesn't seem safe i simply will not continue. the safety of the wildlife is far more important than anything else to me)
