The first batch of 18 day compost turned into a huge mountain due to all the straw Damian needed to add to get the nitrogen-carbon ratio right (not stinky). Even so, it got used up pretty quick on the trees and fall garden. We gave some to the neighbors too.This second batch is a much more manageable size and is made %100 out of our own imputs; chicken manure, weeds, and amaranth. It doesn’t smell at all and seems to be cooking nicely.
