For the last year my compost bin has been at the end of my garden near shed
and fence. The garden is quite small. Last week we spread the compost on
the land reserved for fruit trees.

My neighbour's front door faces my garden. When we were digging in the
compost last week I must admit it was a wee bit niffy. Not sure why but
maybe someone can advise me later

We still have to finish it off and the smell will be gone. It has almost
gone now. She is screaming blue murder and is now sniffing against the
fence
where the compost bin is and inviting all the neighbours to have a wee sniff
as well (the bin is one from B&Q with a lid.

I know the smell will be gone as indeed it almost is after the work this
weekend. There was no smell at all for the last year. Does she have any
recourse in law as she gets obsessed with any wee problem in life and rushes
off to the police . I don't have anywhere else to site the bin and given
she had no complaint for the
whole of last year I don't see why I should. Or should I?

I have absolutely no wish to make anyone unhappy.. no not even her but is
this OTT?

Comments please?

As many others have said, turn the compost if you can, but with regards
to the neighbour, if she is such a person that any little thing she
doesn't like then it's off to the Cop Shop, then don't be too worried,
they already know her down there and will give her a smile and send her
on her way with a 'Certainly madam, we will look into the compost bin
for you' ;-)

By the sounds of things, she doesn't have enough to do. Get her a job
knitting Bus Stops or Cross Stitching a few Manhole Covers :-((

As Sacha said, if you live in the country you must expect all sorts of
'Rural Smells', but if you live in a High Rise and are on the 14th floor
with a small balcony you share with her................. :-(

Have a nice day.
