Default Compost Bins - are they smelly?


"Space" wrote in message

I am considering a compost bin in my small north facing garden.

Because it is north facing I am trying to use the space and moving shadows
to create somewhere nice to sit in the morning and then somewhere to sit
mid afternoon when the sun is shining.

The obvious places for a compost bin is near to the bench used in the
morning, or in a corner next to where the sun loungers go in the
afternoon.

The planting nearby would provide some shade and therefore the bins would
not bake in the sun.

However, are compost bins smelly? I know it involves rotting down garden
and food waste so it must be. So, are compost bins *really* smelly???


No, compost bins do not smell if you select what you are putting in them.

General food waste should be selected, so as not to use any meat, just veg
waste.
