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.


How big, physically, is a 220ltr bin?


height 88cm
width 72cm
depth 72cm

it's taller and wider than the average dustbin
