Has anyone tried worm composting?  I live in the city,

Washington DC - in a semi-detached row house.  I have
a very small backyard and have had a pyramid composter
for a year now.  The problem?  Rats.  Creeps me out to
just think about it.  Washington has a horrible rat
population and they are all over the city, in every
neighborhood.  Well, they are now in my area and
digging under my composter.  So, no more putting the
kitchen scraps outside.  I thought I would use the
backyard composter for grass and plants and have a
worm composter in the house for kitchen scraps.

Any advice for rat proofing my composter in the
backyard?
