Build some kind of a mesh guard, maybe out of chicken wire, so debis cannot clog the drain.  

I also have  a garden and chickens so maybe a little fresh produce could sweeten the deal!

I’d keep it very basic with pressure treated framing, plywood door, and mesh chicken wire between the units.  

They lied to me about so many things.
