Hi all, I have too much high nitrogen material in my compost bin and it
is becoming smelly now.

What can I do?

I cant get hold of any dry leaves, where do i get straw from? what
other high carbon materials can i use?


Ignore those Yankee delusions. They are hogwash.

You simply need to get more air into the compost, which may require
keeping it a bit drier. Turn it over and loosen it. Yes, you can
also improve things by adding dry material - from leaves to grass
to prunings.
