Composting smells. If being turned and maintained properly, you will get the odors of decaying materials. The smell resembles silage if you include greens.
A good working compost pile should have a lot more carbon than nitrogen. Nitrogen matter (lawn clippings, leaves, food scraps and manures) provide the mix for making the enzymes. Easy rule to follow is 1/3 green and 2/3 brown material.
With the requirements needed, the heat and the vermin, I wouldn’t want my neighbor composting.
