Default The stench of good(?) compost

I've bought some of that there "100% recycled garden compost" -- i.e.
the stuff that is made from council waste collections. I've bought it
for improving the soil in a corner of our garden (NOT for any greenhouse
work!).

Having opened a bag, I find it *looks* very good. However it does smell
like part of the process is running it through the sewers! Does anyone
know if this smell dissipates pretty quickly? Or slowly? Or never?

Cheers
John
