Smelly Compost:

Troubleshoot Your Compost

Problem: Strong, unpleasant smells coming from your compost bin.

Solution: Adjust the carbon-to-nitrogen ratio, add more browns (dry materials), and turn the compost to improve aeration.

Stagnant Compost:

Problem: Your compost seems to be taking forever to decompose.

Solution: Ensure a proper balance of greens and browns, optimize moisture levels, and turn the compost regularly to provide oxygen for the microbial activity.

Slimy Compost:

Problem: Compost is slimy and overly wet.

Solution: Add more browns, turn the compost, and cover the bin to prevent excess rainwater infiltration.
