Compost:

1. Empty compost buckets. This may need to be done WAY more often than you think!

2. Compost is not difficult and will NOT smell IF it is taken care of. Making compost is simply creating a habitat for micro-organisms to thrive. Like people, these little creatures need air, water, food, and love. Air is provided by turning the pile twice a week. Usually there is plenty of water in the compost material for the organisms' needs. In fact, the pile should be covered during rainy periods to prevent the pile from becoming soggy. The pile should be moist, not wet. The little critters need organic matter for food. This includes all kitchen scraps, lawn clippings, leaves (very important), egg shells, coffee grounds and filters, etc. Don't put meat, bones, fat/oil, cheese, twigs, branches, or anything woody in the compost. If the pile becomes icky, one of two things has probably happened: 1) it hasn't been turned often enough, or 2) the pile is too wet. in both cases, there isn't enough air for aerobic bacteria to live. Smelly anaerobic bacteria take their place. Simply turn the pile more frequently and/or add dry matter like leaves.
