compost heap tips
A compost heap should not smell if the correct waste is put in,the only smell sould be an earthy smell. You can compost all organinc matter,grass, weeds without seed heads, paper,cardboard, teabags, coffee grinds, egg shells, no cooked food,bread or meat of anykind. Many gardening books have good lists. Layering is imortant too much of one thing can stop or slow down composting. I've been composting for three years no rats, flies, smells just perfect rich compost.
For the jumbletowner that inherited bins' empty both, take out rubish , check for vermin, relayer bins usng the waste from one and layering with the grass from the other and any other organic waste you have collected. They should start to work soon after.
