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.

Before you purchase one of those check out your local water board(?),
mine, Severn Trent, offer excellent priced composters (Blackwall) as well
as water butts.


I can buy a 220ltr composter for £7.00 online with recyclenow.


You're lucky, our cheapest is from the council for £17 recyclenow
don't operate in this part of the world.
