Default My Compost Smells

In article , ask@itshall

I certainly wasn't joking when I told him he used to use sweat as an
ingredient. Unless or until he learns to add that, he won't have compost -
he'll simply have rotted vegetation. I see no problems with the rotted
vegetation approach either, but if he wants to go that way, he will need to
understand that he doesn't pile it, he spreads it and them has to a
potential weed problem unless he also learns how to use the rotted
vegetation.


Well, as serious as you may have been, it looked like you were using
humour.

I wondered why you didn't indicate that after sweating and digging
through anaerobic compost that one tends to smell a little ...rotten.

I don't know why I keep thinking this newsgroup should be fertile ground
for humour.
